I am a sociology and philosophy tutor who specialises in A level and undergraduate students in these subject areas. I have a wealth of academic, teaching and tutoring experience. I have tutored, taught and lectured in universities both in the UK and internationally for well over ten years. I look forward to the opportunity of sharing this experience with A level and undergraduate tutees who require help preparing for exams and working on coursework, essays and dissertations. For A levels, I know the syllabi of the main exam boards well, in terms of the content and exam question expectations and...

Experienced, engaging, and supportive Sociology tutor
I have over a decade of teaching experience, both in the classroom and one-to-one. I am currently a Head of Department and also an examiner. I know the AQA GCSE examination board in detail for both Religious Studies and Sociology. I can teach the subject matter linked with any examination board. I can also work with students who are in Key Stage Three to help build that foundation of knowledge in Religious Studies and those essential extended writing skills and structures. I also teach English at Key Stage Three, so I use this experience to help students develop their written responses.I know how...

Brilliant Sociology tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Can an online tutor really help my child compete for a place at a school like Devonport High?
Absolutely. Strong GCSE results are crucial for getting into competitive sixth forms. A specialist Sociology tutor can focus on strengthening your child's analytical skills, essay writing, and exam technique, giving them the tools and confidence to aim for the top grades they need for their A-level choices.
We're worried about university options. Can a tutor help strengthen a Russell Group application?
Yes, this is a key area where our tutors can help. Beyond just curriculum knowledge, they mentor students on developing the critical thinking and independent thought that top universities look for. A tutor can help your child explore sociological ideas that show passion and intellectual curiosity in their personal statement, helping them stand out.
Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?
We find it's even more effective for many families. Online tutoring cuts out travel time and stress, and it gives your child in Plymouth access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK. With interactive tools like whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging and personalised.
How do you ensure your Sociology tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto Tutorful. Every tutor is background-checked, interviewed, and has proven expertise in their subject. We look for tutors who are not just knowledgeable but also passionate about inspiring students.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We know that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first choice of tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child has lost their confidence in Sociology. Can a tutor help with that?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they rebuild that self-belief step-by-step. It's often the biggest change parents tell us they see.
How much does online Sociology tutoring cost for a student in Plymouth?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £25 per hour. You can browse tutors' profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and pricing upfront, allowing you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Can a tutor use local Plymouth examples to make Sociology more relatable?
Great question! Whilst our tutors are based across the UK, many are skilled at incorporating local contexts to bring learning to life. They can work with your child to research and analyse social issues or history relevant to Plymouth, making abstract concepts feel much more concrete and interesting.
What do we need to get started with online lessons?
It's simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a webcam with a microphone. Our online classroom has everything else built-in, including an interactive whiteboard and document sharing.
Do you offer tutoring in subjects related to Sociology, like Politics or Psychology?
Yes, we do. Many of our humanities tutors cover a range of subjects. If your child is considering studying related A-levels, we can help you find a tutor with expertise across Politics, Psychology, History and more to provide well-rounded support.
How flexible is the scheduling?
Incredibly flexible. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and find a time that fits around your family's life, whether it's after school, on weekends, or during the holidays. You're in complete control of the schedule.
