Online Politics Tutor Nick

Experienced tutor with a PhD in Political Science from the London School of Economics. I have successfully tutored 10+ students in GCSE and A-level Politics on the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards.

At LSE, I taught the first-year module GV101: Introduction to Political Science, where I was twice awarded the LSE Teaching Award. GV101 is a comparative politics course which examines the key debates in political science from a worldwide perspective, using examples from many different countries and time periods. One of its core methods of assessment, alongside an in-person exam, is writing an argumentative essay. My experience in helping students improve their essay writing skills through constructive feedback has been invaluable in driving grade improvement.

I'm an empathetic listener and I strive to tailor each individual lesson to the student's goals. I always spend time at the start of a tutoring relationship establishing a relationship and getting to know exactly what a student struggles with - but also what motivates them. I always aim to make my lessons engaging and fun; in my experience, this is the best way to learn.

Having been either studying or working professionally in the field of politics and social sciences for the past 25 years, I take pride in drawing upon my wealth of experience to support struggling students. I also volunteer with Merton Saints BMX Club, where I help run sessions for young people from lower-income areas or with SEND needs. This has developed my ability to connect with children from a range of backgrounds and help them overcome their own individual challenges.
