Sociology A-Level Tutors

Sociology is an engaging subject which covers many diverse topics including crime, war, religion, social class, wealth, race, gender, culture and romantic love. It gives students a fascinating insight into the reasons behind the ways we behave, using evidence, analysis, and critical thinking.

Our experienced tutors offer private tuition to help with the new AS and A-level sociology exam board specifications introduced in September 2015. Our sociology team includes graduates from the best UK universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE and UCL.

Tavistock Tutors are hired for their expertise, enthusiasm, and extensive tutoring experience, which they will use to help you get the grade you deserve. Hit the ground running and contact us at Tavistock tutors today!

I will first identify how you study best, whether it is visually, aurally, kinetically, or logically – because knowing that will allow me to customize our classes to suit you. For example, if you’re a kinetic learner, we will build models together. And if you’re an aural learner, then we’ll burst into a song every now and then (it’s shown...

I believe that the most important virtue in a tutor is the ability to empathise with a student's cognitive position. When teaching I guide a student through the mental steps needed to accomplish the goal of the lesson. I typically spend much of a lesson in dialogue with the student. I break this up with exercises to embed and reinforce key...

I begin any tutoring with a clear translation of the syllabus to the student, presenting clearly the weighting of assessment criteria before evaluating and discussing how this might align with the student’s strengths, as well as addressing areas where they might be struggling or lack confidence. This stage involves the outline of goals, achievements, targets and routes, the amount of work...

I like to get to know the student beforehand and identify areas of confidence and problem areas. I tailor-made each tuition session with a lesson plan where we review key themes and topics (especially confidence areas), and then work through examples for problem areas. That said, I prefer a conversational style of learning (which has worked best in my experience),...

Having been taught in tutorials in Oxford I have a good sense of what makes a successful lesson. I believe that tutorials should be shaped around a student’s needs and learning style in order to make the subject accessible to them. For this reason I endeavour to use written and visual materials that can bring the lesson alive. Engaging and motivating...

I love learning! Mostly about new cultures, languages and ways of being, but in general I am such a learning freak, and I try to pass this enthusiasm onto all of my students, regardless of their level. When it comes to teaching languages, students often seem to lack self-confidence and that is what gets in the way of them speaking. The...

Given the interdisciplinary nature of my studies I feel comfortable tutoring a range of methodological fields across the humanities and social sciences, along with languages I have fluency in; Italian, French, Spanish and Arabic. I am a passionate believer in the joy of learning and the pursuit of knowledge, and I will aim to transmit independent thinking and passion for the...

No two students are the same - but neither are tutors. Having tutored children young and old, in Amsterdam and London, from privileged and less-privileged backgrounds, in group settings and individually, I've developed a personal approach to tutoring that centers around empowerment. By demystifying the process of learning and breaking the subject matter down to bite-sized building blocks, I strive...

Throughout four years of tutoring I have come to the conclusion that the best approach to tuition depends on whether the student is looking for short term or long term help. Overall, however, the key to successful tuition aside from these differences is inspiring interest in the subject on the side of the student. Long-term: I take a holistic method to...

Ideas can be difficult - and everyone takes time to get comfortable with them. My approach is always to be student-led; identifying those tricky concepts, and finding new and personalised ways to approach them, as well as building the confidence to use this knowledge independently....
