Veronika

’m Veronika, a dedicated and ambitious tutor with a First-Class degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) from the University of Exeter. My academic background reflects a deep commitment to critical thinking, rigorous analysis, and multidisciplinary learning — all of which I bring into my teaching. I achieved A grades in A-Level Politics, Economics, and History, along with an A* in my Extended Project Qualification, which explored the impact of populism on democracy in the UK.

My approach to tutoring is shaped not only by academic excellence but also by real-world experience. I currently work within the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as a Policy Advice Intern, where I lead major research projects on consumer protection and energy reform. My responsibilities include producing policy briefings for ministers, attending high-level strategy meetings, and contributing to parliamentary debate preparations — experiences which have further sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, think critically under pressure, and present complex ideas in a structured and accessible way.

Beyond government work, I am the Senior Editor of The Witness, a political newspaper where I manage a team of writers, provide editorial feedback, and write on subjects such as international security and decolonisation. I’ve also represented young people at the United Nations as a delegate to the Conference on the Status of Women 2024, where I worked closely with diplomats, NGOs, and advocacy groups to shape policy recommendations on gender equality.

These diverse experiences mean I understand how politics and economics function both in theory and in practice — and how to make those subjects engaging and relevant for students. As a tutor, I strive to bring that same clarity and purpose to every lesson. I specialise in helping GCSE and A-Level students (ages 15–18) improve their exam technique, develop confident and coherent essay structures, and deepen their understanding of the curriculum, particularly for AQA and OCR exam boards.

I work with students from a range of starting points — some aiming for the top grades, others looking to rebuild confidence in their subjects. Whatever your goals, I offer a structured, warm, and highly personalised teaching style. I combine clear explanations with active questioning, exam-style practice, and regular feedback so that every lesson brings visible progress.

Tutoring Experience

I am a highly experienced and academically accomplished tutor, with over three years of professional tutoring experience supporting GCSE and A-Level students across the UK. I hold a First-Class BA Honours degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Exeter—one of the UK’s top Russell Group universities.

Throughout my degree, I specialised in advanced international relations, global economics, political theory, and philosophy, gaining a multidisciplinary and analytical perspective that I bring into every tutoring session. My academic background enables me to teach with both depth and clarity, especially in essay-based and conceptual subjects like History, Politics, Economics, and Philosophy.

In addition to my studies, I have worked in UK government departments, including the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. There, I contributed to high-level policy development and supported ministers on strategy and debates—an experience that has strengthened my communication, research, and critical thinking skills. These are the very same skills I now help my students build in their own academic work.

Over the past three years, I’ve tutored a wide range of students in GCSE English, Maths, Sciences, French, Business, and Geography, and A-Level History, Politics, Economics, and Philosophy. My students have ranged from those aiming to move from a Grade 5 to a Grade 7, to high-achieving students targeting A*s and Oxbridge applications.

I am proud to have helped students:

Improve by 2–3 grades within a term
Build strong essay writing and exam technique
Gain confidence and independence in challenging subjects
Secure places at top sixth forms and universities

My lessons are fully online, allowing for flexibility, efficiency, and one-to-one focus. I tailor every session to the individual student’s needs, learning style, and academic goals—whether that’s mastering a tricky topic, preparing for mocks, or boosting performance before final exams.

I hold:
A Tutoring Certification
Enhanced DBS clearance
Advanced certifications in Cybersecurity and Data Protection (UK Civil Service)
Professional editorial and policy experience in the fields of education, governance, and public affairs

Whether you're looking for long-term academic support, help preparing for exams, or focused feedback on coursework, I provide a professional, results-oriented approach that helps students truly excel.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is highly personalised, structured, and results-focused. I begin by identifying each student’s strengths, challenges, and learning style, then design a tailored plan to support their specific academic goals—whether it’s mastering core concepts, improving exam technique, or developing top-tier essay skills.

I combine subject expertise with clear, step-by-step explanations, engaging discussion, and regular feedback. For essay-based subjects like History, Politics, and Philosophy, I focus heavily on argument structure, critical analysis, and clarity of expression. For Maths and Sciences, I emphasise methodical problem-solving and concept mastery, ensuring students understand the “why” as well as the “how”.

Each lesson is goal-oriented, with a strong emphasis on building confidence, independent thinking, and exam readiness. I use real exam questions and past papers regularly, so students are well-prepared and know how to apply their knowledge under pressure.

Above all, I aim to create a supportive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and ultimately achieving more than they thought possible.
