Laura

I have 20+ years of experience of working with children of all ages in both primary and secondary settings. I have a passion for the social sciences and have taught a wide range of these subjects. I’m currently head of social science in a deprived secondary school, with proven pass rates at the national average and the best results in the humanities department.

Tutoring Experience

Social sciences I have taught:
-citizenship GCSE
-leisure and tourism
-religious studies GCSE (Eduqas)
-sociology A-Level AQA and Eduqas
-psychology A-Level and BTEC including AQA, Eduqas and Pearson
-English tutoring for those retaking GCSEs at AQA

Tutoring Approach

I have a calm and patient approach to teaching
As a struggling and overwhelmed A-level student myself, I understand the frustrations and barriers to learning well
I have a particular skill in breaking down complicated information into more simpler forms, knowledge of how to retain information and essay formulas
I can also provide revision materials and resources that have proven to push students working under a C grade up
We will work at your pace and work on skills together
