I have taught in schools, colleges and as a private tutor for twenty five years. Whether one-to-one or in a class situation I have developed a teaching style that centres on the individual.

I teach Social Science (Psychology and Sociology) Philosophy and English. My focus in a lesson plan can include work on elucidation of theories, ideas or methods, but also I cover work on writing skills and essay planning as often it is not...

Find a tutor Elizabeth H
Elisabeth is an amazing tutor! She helped me so much in preparing for my RS Alevel exams, and made me feel confident in all of the topics.
Elisabeth offered extensive guidance on how to develop the abstract concepts in RS into strong essay paragraphs. As well as how to make notes in ways that will optimise productivity and condense all of the necessary information.
Elisabeth’s knowledge in all things philosophy, religion (i did buddhism) and ethics is seemingly unlimited, which helped me get a rounded view of all of the information.
Overall i highly recommend Elisabeth as a tutor for Alevel philosophy.

Shannon is a phenomenal tutor, as well as a great advisor in learning. Working with her gave me a true passion for philosophy, as well as transforming my academic grades. I am lucky to have chosen Shannon as my OCR philosophy tutor; she went above and beyond to ensure that I felt supported and confident before exams, as well as providing me with an overall mentor whenever I needed one. A lovely person to be tutored by.

Fantastic philosophy tutor, Peter helped me understand challenging content and answered any & all questions I had about the subject. He is very knowledgable about A level philosophy and is able to explain complex arguments and positions really well within the relevant spec. Can’t recommend Peter enough!!

Russell S
Russell helped completely change my philosophy grade in a matter of weeks! His knowledge of the course and how to write a good essay -which is what separates a c/b from an A/A* no matter how good your knowledge is - was so helpful, I went into my final exam feeling more confident than I ever had before, and left more confident than I could have imaged all due to his advice. Would recommend to anyone struggling or looking to get top top grades. Was an absolute professional and a lovely man! 10/10
