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. 2024 results for A-Level was 100% A-Cs as head of department.

-citizenship GCSE
-leisure and tourism
-religious studies GCSE (Eduqas and AQA)
-sociology GCSE, A-Level AQA and Eduqas
-psychology A-Level and BTEC including AQA, Eduqas and Pearson
-English tutoring for those retaking GCSEs at AQA
-I can assist with BTEC subjects such as coursework skills, preparation for exams and revision techniques

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
