Ben Wardle BA (Hons) QTS PGDE AKC is a first-class graduate in Religion, Philosophy & Ethics (King's College London), and a teacher of Religion, Philosophy and Ethics (KS3, KS4 and KS5). Ben secured an A* in GCSE Religious Studies and an A* in A Level Religious Studies. He now offers tuition for A Level Religious Studies (OCR and AQA exam boards) via Zoom, and is passionate about helping A Level RS students to fulfil their full potential and achieve the highest grades in this subject through his tutoring work.   

​​​​​​

"I offer 60 minute A Level RS tuition sessions via Zoom. Each session will be tailored to you, and will focus on covering all the key AO1 and AO2 that you need to know for a particular topic (e.g. the Ontological Argument). We will also focus on A* exam technique and how to write A* essays on the topic. This will include planning essays and reading exemplar answers on the topic. After the session, I will email you the PowerPoint and further resources on the topic. These will be yours to keep and use as part of your studies / revision.  I am also more than happy to provide feedback on past paper questions / mock exam paper responses that you have completed, offering targeted coaching on maximising your marks in exam-style questions". 

​​​​​​​

Ben is passionate about focusing on the following areas, with students significantly increasing their grades in Religious Studies as a result: 

​

• Ensuring confident topic knowledge of AO1 and AO2 for every topic on the exam specification.  By the end of the session, you will know - and feel confident discussing - the key thinkers, ideas, evaluation points and synoptic links for the topic. You will feel confident answering ANY essay question on the topic. 

​

• Maximising exam performance through targeted exam technique coaching & practice exam questions. Includes attention to 'command words' and a focus on how to fulfil the criteria expected by the exam board's specification. This includes planning A* essays, developing A* writing structures and reading exemplar A* essays. 

​​​

• Coaching in A* evaluation and critical analysis, including a focus on the development of synoptic links, as well as the inclusion of sources of wisdom and authority. 

 

• A focus on developing learner's confidence and self-belief, with a focus on developing a Positive Mental Attitude and a Growth Mindset at all stages of the exam preparation / revision process.
