AS-level Sociology tutors
2 of 2 UK tutors teaching Sociology at AS-level.
Sociology is offered at GCSE and A-level (AQA is the dominant A-level board) and covers theory (functionalism, Marxism, feminism, postmodernism), research methods, and topic units (education, family, crime, media, beliefs). It's essay-heavy and rewards precise use of theoretical terminology — students who 'get' the ideas often still lose marks on AO2/AO3 application and evaluation. Tutoring helps most with essay structure, with the research methods paper (which is more technical than students expect), and with the synoptic top-mark questions that demand integration across topics. Look for tutors with sociology degrees and explicit familiarity with the AQA spec.
AS-levels are the first-year sixth-form qualification (Year 12, age 16-17), taken as standalone qualifications worth half an A-level in subjects where students don't continue to A2. Since the 2015-2017 reforms decoupled AS from A-level in England, AS marks no longer count toward the A-level grade — students sit fresh A-level exams at the end of Year 13. Wales and Northern Ireland retained the older modular structure. Tutoring at AS focuses on consolidation through Year 12 to set up A-level success; in England, the AS exam itself is now optional and increasingly skipped. Confirm the actual route the student is on.
