About Dan

Hi, I'm Dan and I am a specialist Sociology teacher with huge experience and expertise built up over a 20-year teaching career in sixth form. My teaching philosophy aims to deliver not only high grades and major, measurable improvement in student performance but also an enjoyable experience. Crucially, my students have an excellent record of exam success both as sixth form students and individual tutees. In terms of qualifications, I hold a doctorate, an MA at distinction level, a PGCE teaching qualification and a BA (Hons). My teaching style emphasises the need to be accessible, friendly and supportive and to build a relationship with students which prioritises the learning goals they themselves identify. I also favour an interactive approach which recognises that learning needs to generate enthusiasm and engagement as well as academic progress. Most importantly, I teach to ensure students understand and can meet examination assessment objectives and thereby achieve high grades. University : - University of the West of England - PhD [Pass] - University Of Kent - MA in Political Sociology [Distinction] - University of Leicester - PGCE [Pass] - University of Sussex - BA (Honours) [2:ii]

About the lesson

As my profile indicates, I am a hugely experienced and enthusiastic Sociology teacher who always goes the extra mile for my students. Every lesson aims to tackle the learning needs that students themselves identify and to build confidence and skills in equal measure. Each lesson comes complete with an accompanying body of topic notes, essay-writing tips, and model answers to help students boost their grades. Furthermore, I always try to ensure my sessions are fully interactive, relaxed and enjoyable experiences, as well as highly productive. I look forward to tutoring you!

Perfect! Dan is a fantastic tutor. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
My daughter has really benefitted from her lessons with him and learnt far more from him than she did in her lessons at school. She has very much enjoyed her lessons with him and it has given her much more confidence ahead of her A-level examinations.
Dan is the best tutor we've ever had.

Perfect! Dan is helping my daughter with her preparations for A-levels in Sociology. He has extensive knowledge on the subject and is very passionate about passing it to his students in a structured and thorough manner. Dan is ready to walk and extra mile to ensure his students get all the support they need to succeed. Supporting materials he shares are extremely useful - well organised and brilliantly put together. Even though my daughter is having a packed crash-course, every session is a pleasure and she is genuinely looking forward to it. I highly recommend choosing Dan as your tutor!

Dan's response
Hi Kasia, Zuzanna and I have just finished another fun lesson exploring Marxist theories of religion. Identical to our first session, Zuzanna was so lively and positive, and we ran through all the various concepts, and sociological arguments with great gusto. Hopefully, the complexities of sociological theory are becoming increasingly clear to Zuzanna as we move through the material. I very much look forward to our earlier session next week. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Kindest regards, Dan

Dan's response
Shayan and I just completed our second full session focusing on the Eduqas module of 'stratification'. Shayan impressed with the intelligence and articulacy of his contributions and I am extremely optimistic that he will make excellent progress as the weeks unfold. He is highly pro-active in his approach to his studies, and shows great determination to achieve a high level of success. I'm sure this will continue. Kind regards, Dan

Aimee and I targeted past paper questions as planned and did an especially thorough job of planning an effective essay response to a 35-mark past paper question. I supplied her with four mark schemes to help her mock preparation further, as well as some topic notes which linked to the questions. I very much look forward to running through more past paper questions on Monday. Kindest regards, Dan

Perfect! Excellent Tutor- Secured the grade I needed!
"Hi Dan, It’s Ayzan, who you gave sociology tuition to prior to my A-Levels.

I just want to give a huge thank you for all of your help you provided me throughout those stressful exam periods and all the recourses and knowledge you gave me to push me that extra bit farther in my exams.

I got a B in my final exam which I was absolutely over the moon with as I never received anything over a D in my 2 years of being in the course! It was an extremely hard course for me and there were times I definitely felt like giving up on it but towards the end I persevered through and with your support I got into my dream university and got the grades I dreamt of for this course.

I would like to finish this off with another huge thank you Dan. I wish you all the best and I hope you can change many other students lives with your great tutoring skills and your continuous support :)

Kind Regards,

Ayzan."

Perfect! amazing sociology tutor
Dan has been an amazing tutor for my sociology a level, I really recommend him for students who are needing that extra help. He always asked if there was a particular topic I wanted to cover the next session and sent the documents before the lesson to leave them ready to go. I got a D in as levels last year (2021), I started having sessions with Dan around Christmas 2021 and started seeing an improvement in my work quickly. I got my a level results and I got a B, I wouldn’t have achieved that without Dan’s help. I also have ADHD which has caused struggles through education, but Dan is a patient tutor and never makes you feel under pressure or anything which is another bonus

Perfect! A passionate, caring and very knowledgeable tutor
Dan was appointed when my daughter was working at a C level. Dan is a very calm, patient and immensely dedicated tutor, who always stress tested my daughter's learning. Dan did not treat the tuition as ad-hoc lessons, but rather as a programme of learning which helped my daughter to achieve an A* grade in her A-level today. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan.

Dan is an extremely passionate and caring tutor with an intense knowledge base of his subject. My daughter is in her final year of A levels and I have entrusted Dan to deliver a programme of learning for her, all the way up to her final exams, as opposed to ad-hoc sessions.
My daughter is very shy but Dan has successfully managed to engage her in the lessons.
Dan's continuous use of real life examples adds the necessary colour needed when learning this subject.
I would not hesitate to recommend Dan to anyone looking for Sociology tuition.
Well done Dan.

Dan taught my daughter through the latter part of her Sociology A-level. She was predicted a B but was getting D's in her mock exams. With Dan's patience and knowledge he gave my daughter the confidence and exam technique to attain a B in the actual A level.
Dan's clear explanation of the topic, extra resources and exam practice were all invaluable.
Would highly recommend Dan as a tutor.

Dan is a highly-qualified and knowledgeable individual with an excellent teaching record. He relates sensitively and constructively to people of all backgrounds and abilities, and deploys a broad range of pedagogical strategies in order to inspire, engage and realise student potential. His lessons are well-paced and imaginative, with regular exercises to consolidate learning and meet individual student needs. He has a flexible and relaxed yet academically-rigorous approach, focused on building learner confidence as much as improving expressive and analytical skills. With his exemplary subject knowledge and extensive experience across a variety of educational sectors, Dan would make a superb tutor and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.
