Tutoring With Jake

Are you struggling to keep up in your sociology lessons? Are you finding the subject hard? Experiencing difficulty understanding the complex subject sociology is?

Maybe tutoring is with a try?!

I offer online tuition services for the GCSE and A-Level course for the AQA exam board. I am in my 4th year studying the subject and I have taken it at both GCSE and A-Level (currently)

Topics I teach have been advertised in a previous post.

Rates:

I offer tuition for £20 per session (usually tuition will cost anywhere from £35-£60+/hr), frequency of these sessions are up to you, depends on how much help you require.

Sessions will consist of:
1) Retrieval Practice - this allows you to develop a concrete understanding of the prior weeks topic
2) Content - running through the weekly topic
3) Exam Practice - this gets you in the rhythm of exam technique and how to go about answering cryptic exam questions as well as learning to fully dissect them and extracting information required from Items to use in your answer! I mark these and provide feedback before our next session - so, very quickly!

PM for more details and enquiries.

I think it’s time to get this train rolling again…

After careful consideration, I have decided to start up my tuition services again - however this time for GCSE Sociology students.

I am someone who is an avid learner within the subject, taking it at both GCSE and currently A-Level whilst also looking to continue at BA level.
