About Me

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.

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 rapport 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. My experience in helping students improve their essay writing skills through constructive feedback could be invaluable in helping you prepare. This has been refined over a number of years in one-to-one tutoring, but also in teaching Undergraduate and Masters students across three different politics courses at the LSE.

If you’d like to chat more about how I can help you, please do get in touch and we can arrange a free consultation.

Tutor Experience

Experienced tutor with a PhD in Political Science from the London School of Economics. I have successfully helped improve the grades of many students in A-level Politics on the AQA and Edexcel exam boards.

At LSE, I taught the first-year module GV101: Introduction to Political Science, where I was twice awarded the LSE Teaching Award. One of its core methods of assessment 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 finds most challenging - 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 students from a range of backgrounds and abilities.

Testimonials

"My A-level Politics tutor lessons with Nick were incredibly valuable. They strengthened my knowledge significantly, and through active discussion and his fresh perspectives I built much more robust foundations than I had previously. He also helped me shape more focused and on-target exam answers, and really bringing to life what the examiners are looking for. Through all this I felt so much better able to prepare for the exams. A huge, huge thank you."

"Nick thank you for your support and detailed planning for my daughter - you have made an enormous difference to her final grade."
