Look out for the blue/turquoise image of the sailing ship! I work exclusively online offering Monday to Friday daytime and evening sessions throughout the year. I no longer subscribe to this platform so cannot respond directly to messages.
I am a highly experienced teacher of psychology and sociology with excellent track record on engagement, confidence-building and results; past examiner for AQA psychology. Very experienced with AQA psychology and AQA sociology, I have also taught/tutored Edexcel & IB psychology (standard and higher level), OCR & WJEC sociology. Excellent resources to support students with tricky topics, help develop skills and allow stretch & challenge to meet the top mark bands. Follow me online on Facebook and Instagram as The Learning Navigator to access free psychology resources including my special topic summary sheets called octals.
If you are struggling with the research methods components of the courses, I can demystify, explain these and build your confidence with mathematical skills/statistical testing. Not sure how to structure examination answers for the longer questions? I can help with that too. Extensive experience means I can deliver comprehensive examination skills and guidance along with detailed subject content.
I have a Masters degree in teaching and learning and enjoy working with students to develop effective learning strategies and build confidence. Study skills development is a speciality - work smarter, build confidence, achieve better!
I am tutoring full-time after many years working in schools and quickly became fully booked, with many personal recommendations. I do accept new clients and conduct a free assessment to ensure there is a good fit and I feel I can help the specific student achieve their goals. I put a lot of work and preparation into sessions to tailor them specifically to my students' needs and have achieved excellent results including an A grade in sociology for a student who missed the whole of Year 12 at school and a C grade for a student for scored a U in their mocks just a couple of months before the exams! I cannot guarantee getting a student a particular grade and it is important to be realistic about your expectations before starting tutoring. One to one tutoring is very effective but is not a replacement for hard work and the many other factors that affect the outcome. Please enquire via Learning Navigator on Facebook or Instagram for more details and to book your free initial assessment.
Terms and conditions
I pride myself on building up a good working relationship with my clients. Since tutoring is normally for a period of some months as examinations approach and in the interests of fair play for both parties, I've set out some key points regarding charges and cancellations during the tutoring period.
Charges
A-Level sessions are delivered online weekly via Teams in one-hour blocks. Charges reflect my qualifications, experience and the way my sessions are tailored to each individual student’s needs, making them highly effective at boosting learning, confidence and grades. Knowing all the misconceptions and pitfalls on content and structuring examination questions makes all the difference and it is vital that tutoring is effective for the student.
I am happy to offer each new client one free initial assessment and discussion session to assess the needs and type of help required plus it gives you a chance to see how I work and fit in with your requirements. There is no obligation on either side to continue after this first session.
Cancellations Policy
Once a regular slot has been booked for the student, the same time every week, I will endeavour always to be available to tutor them. There is scope for discussion if a session needs to be rearranged (24 hours requested), subject to my availability.
From time to time, flexibility on both sides is required due to life events and unexpected occurrences. This may involve cancellation of a particular session or the need to reschedule and I will always try to accommodate if I can do so.
Teaching is my passion. My purpose in life is to create a positive environment in the world. I love to teach children and students of any age group. I have also been associated with Brahma kumaris (World Spiritual Organisation) for 7 years. I have a profound understanding of my subjects, adeptly tailor instruction to diverse learning styles, fosters a positive and inclusive classroom environment and effective communication. I also encourages critical thinking and empower students. Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of teaching a wide range of subjects to students from diverse backgrounds. This experience has honed my ability to effectively communicate complex ideas, foster a positive learning environment, and adapt my teaching methods to individual student needs. Additionally, I recently authored my first book, "One Light and the Angelic World," which has further enhanced my knowledge and passion for sharing knowledge with others. Furthermore, my association with Brahma Kumaris, a world spiritual organization, for the last seven years has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the holistic approach to education. I strongly believe in the importance of nurturing not only academic growth but also the emotional and spiritual well-being of students. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that encourages personal growth and inspires a love for learning.
I am currently in my tenth year of a rewarding career in teaching. I am a creative and imaginative individual with expertise in teaching and learning and experience of developing others. I pride myself on my professionalism, positive attitude and ability to work effectively in a team and leadership role.

I am an experienced academic passionate about inspiring individuals to aim high. I have assisted multiple students and early career academics to acheive their goals. I worked in research and teaching roles within UK universities between 2004 and 2024 and am an Advance HE Fellow. My main areas of research and teaching expertise are in sociology and qualitative research methods. I am the author of four books, have published in a range of international peer reviewed journals and have chapters in various other books. I also have significant experience in peer-reviewing for academic journals.
I have taught social sciences, sport & exercise and health-related science students in sociology and history of sport-related modules as well as research methods, study skills and dissertation modules. I have supervised PhD students to completion and have acted as a university mentor providing academic research support and guidance to colleagues employed at various HE institutions. I have experience of designing, marking, and providing feedback on a range of assessments, including exams, essays, reports, proposals, presentations, and dissertations, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. I have experience of approval events and collaborative provision between universities and FE colleges and have been an external examiner for undergraduate courses and PhD candidates. My CV is available upon request.
During my time working as an academic for over 20 years I have gained valuable skills and experience that enabled me to start my own freelance private tutoring, research and higher education consultancy business 'G.

Chartered Psychologist with 18 years teaching and examining experience in Psychology. Also teaches sociology in Kettering, UK. Excellent track record of exam results
I am an academic by profession and I have been a personal tutor for 8 years on various website including online and in person. My goal is to share my knowledge with people of all age groups who are interested in learning a foreign language and humanities subjects either for personal exams or just for fun. I also aim to make my lessons as enjoyable as possible not just for the sake of breaking the "monotony" of classroom style teaching, but also because I want to engage with my tutees in order to help them achieve their best results in the most efficient way possible. Plus, I personally believe that everyone is competent and capable of learning any subject or language as long as the relationship between tutors and students are on the same page, and the lessons are made to be more engaging and reachable. For further details, do not hesitate to write a message to me. I look forward to your messages and queries! :)

I oversee the Sociology teaching of 200+ GCSE and A-Level students on a daily basis. In tutoring my clients I draw on this experience to swiftly diagnose core strengths and weaknesses in both knowledge and skills, before breaking down progressive steps on how to improve. I use my comprehensive understanding of mark schemes and criteria to show clients where and how they meet Assessment Objectives (AO skills) and where they fall short. Clients are provided with a variety of resources that can be used beyond tutoring sessions to develop their skills. I also draw on my 8 years experience as a 'real-life' sociologist in helping students understand complex sociological issues and concepts.

I am currently Head of Sociology at an Academy school in London and have 6 years experience teaching AQA GCSE and A Level Sociology. I also have 2 years experience as a Sociology examiner for paper 3: Crime and Deviance with Theories and Methods. I take pride in supporting each learners needs, whether that is through stretch and challenge or differentiated activities. I use a variety of sources such as mark schemes, examiners comments, Tutor2U and Hectic teachers to gather a vast array of resources to help students learn, which has helped my students achieve A*s in their exams.
I have been teaching for 13 years, working with a variety of students with different needs. I worked in London, before moving to Nottingham in July 2011. I am currently Head of Social Science and am teaching Psychology AQA and Sociology AQA, both at A level. I have met and trained with cheif examiners, so am confident in helping students to prepare for exams in these subjects. I am also currently an examiner for AQA A Level psychology and have 11 years of experience of marking exam papers which helps me teach students how to answer exam style questions in most precise way.
I have a fresh approach to teaching, making sure my students understand the topic they are studying rather than just memorising the details. Psychology is the study of the real world, and as such, students should be able to link theory to the wider world.
I have conducted online tuition for students who have not been living in the same city as me, but had wanted my expertise and support in learning psychology and sociology. I am a confident user of IT and can utilise online tools to help support students during online tuition sessions.
