Highly experienced Oxbridge PhD-educated online Politics and International Relations tutor: A-Level, IB, undergraduate, Master's

Advert description
For almost 15 years, I've been teaching Politics and International Relations online to students from all over the world. I have a comprehensive academic background: including holding a Master's degree in History of International Relations from the London School of Economics (LSE); a Bachelor's in History from the University of East Anglia (UEA); and studying for a doctorate in History at the University of Oxford.

I also work as an academic editor, and have huge experience of helping some of the finest academics in the world - many of them professors and lecturers at the University of Cambridge - publish ground-breaking books, chapters and peer-reviewed journal articles across the humanities and social sciences.

What I love about tutoring is the chance to work one-to-one with a student and zone in on their particular learning needs. I have a great deal of empathy, which enables me to quickly assess what materials and what method of teaching will work best. I often use videos to help explain various themes, periods and issues; but my aim is always to ask lots of questions and help my students learn how to think and write critically and with confidence.

Studying Politics or IR demands an analytical approach from students. That's why the most important skill they can ever develop is critical thinking. I use Google Docs to work interactively with students in correcting their writing, ask questions and make recommendations around essays and dissertations.

One Russian student started A Level Politics with incredibly little knowledge of UK politics, poor levels of English grammar and almost no awareness of how to write essays. She moved from not even Grade E when starting to achieving an excellent, hugely deserved B after two years with me. Her mother thanked me for having taught her patience and giving her the opportunity to delve into, think and analyze all manner of different themes and issues.

A-Level, IB and university students will be treated by me as adults, fully capable of forming and expressing their own views. My job is to give them the tools to do so as effectively and analytically as possible, so preparing them to utilize these hugely important, richly valuable skills in the wider working world afterwards.

Classes can be-or 90 minutes in length. It's entirely up to you. The first class is free.

With Shaun I've become more confident about my English. He's very nice and he can explain your mistakes without making you feel awful. He encouraged me to take the FCE and, now, I'm preparing for it at an institute and finding that my English level is just as he said it was!

I have known Shaun for a long time and have consistently relied on his support with editing and proofreading academic articles and research papers. He is a highly efficient and reliable professional who responds promptly, even when requests are made on short notice. Shaun’s Superprof style is supportive, detail-oriented, and intellectually engaged. He brings clarity and precision to written work, helping elevate it to a higher academic standard. I highly recommend Shaun to the Superprof community. His expertise, responsiveness, and commitment to quality make him an invaluable resource for anyone seeking assistance with academic writing and research editing.
