My name is Ms Little and I teach GCSE and A Level Sociology. I'm Head of Sociology and Psychology & Head of Years 12 and 13 at USF.
In my shop you will find Sociology and Tutor time resources aimed at Secondary and Sixth Form students. I follow the new Eduqas exam board, so most Sociology resources available in my shop are based on this specification. Eduqas course content is similar to other exam boards and therefore transferable.
