About David
I am a politics professional with a background in both academic study and real-world government experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Politics from Durham University and have worked as a political adviser in parliamentary and local government settings, supporting elected members, shaping policy, and producing briefings and speeches.
I want to teach because I genuinely enjoy helping students understand a subject that I work in every day. Politics is often taught in a very theoretical way, but I have seen first-hand how it operates in practice — and I find it rewarding to bridge that gap for students. Helping someone go from feeling unsure about a topic to being able to explain it clearly and confidently is something I find particularly motivating.
A large part of success in Politics comes down to how well you structure arguments and communicate ideas, and I take satisfaction in helping students develop those skills and see real improvement in their work.
Overall, I see tutoring as an opportunity to combine my professional experience with a genuine interest in helping students succeed, both academically and in their broader understanding of the political world.

I take a structured, results-driven approach to tutoring, focused on helping students understand content quickly and apply it effectively in exams. My teaching combines clear explanations, real-world examples, and constant exam practice. Politics can often feel abstract, so I bring it to life using my experience working in government and policy, helping students understand how concepts work in reality — not just in textbooks.
Each lesson is tailored to the individual student, but typically follows a simple format: a short recap of previous content, focused teaching on a specific topic, and then exam-style questions with detailed feedback. I place particular emphasis on essay structure, argument development, and how to secure top marks, as this is where students can make the biggest improvements.
Lessons are usually 60 minutes, although I also offer 90-minute sessions for more in-depth exam preparation. I teach GCSE and A-Level Politics, and also support students with university applications and personal statements where relevant.

David helped my son with his politics A-level. He guided him in the curriculum, essay writing and critical thinking skills and I could not recommend him more.
My son got an A* in Politics and is now studying at the LSE. David also helped my son with his personal statement and higher education preparation to set him up for success in first year.
5 stars! Thank you so much, David.See more recommendations
