The Family: Functions, Diversity, and Sociological Perspectives

From 41 C$ /h

This Sociology class focuses on the topic “The Family”, one of the core areas in Sociology that helps students understand how family structures, roles, and relationships shape society. Students will learn how families are defined, how they function, and how they have changed over time in modern societies.

The lesson covers key sociological perspectives including Functionalism, Marxism, Feminism, and Postmodernism, enabling students to critically evaluate the role of the family in both traditional and contemporary contexts. It also explores different family types such as nuclear, extended, single-parent, reconstituted, and same-sex families, with real-life examples to support understanding.

This class is designed for students preparing for major international Sociology examinations, including:

AQA GCSE Sociology (8192) – Paper 2: The Sociology of Families
AQA A-Level Sociology (7192) – Paper 2: Topics in Sociology (Families and Households)
OCR GCSE Sociology (J203) – Socialization, Culture and Identity (Family content included)
OCR A-Level Sociology (H580) – Paper 2: Sociological Themes (Families and Households section)
Cambridge IGCSE Sociology (0495) – Paper 1 (Theory & Methods) and Paper 2 (Social Structures, including Family)

Students will practice exam-style questions, learn how to structure high-scoring answers, and develop evaluation skills required for marks in short-answer and essay-based papers.

By the end of the class, students will be able to confidently explain, apply, and evaluate sociological theories of the family and perform effectively in exam questions across different exam boards.

Extra information

This class is exam-focused, meaning every topic is directly linked to questions that appear in real Sociology exams (GCSE, IGCSE, and A-Level).
You will be expected to learn key sociologists and use them in answers, such as Murdock, Parsons, Engels, Oakley, and Stacey.
A strong answer is not just description—you must also evaluate different viewpoints (e.g., strengths and weaknesses of Functionalism, Feminism, etc.).
You should practice using the PEEL structure (Point, Explain, Evidence, Link) for long-answer questions.
Exam questions may include scenario-based application, so you will learn how to apply theories to real-life family examples.
Regular practice of timed essay writing is important for improving exam performance.
You will receive past-paper style questions and model answers to help you understand how marks are awarded.
Key exam boards and paper codes covered in this course:
AQA GCSE Sociology (8192) – Paper 2
AQA A-Level Sociology (7192) – Paper 2
OCR GCSE Sociology (J203)
OCR A-Level Sociology (H580) – Paper 2
Cambridge IGCSE Sociology (0495) – Papers 1 & 2
Students are encouraged to take notes in structured headings (definitions, theories, evaluation, examples) for easier revision.
This topic is highly likely to appear in exams, so consistent revision of key concepts is essential for achieving higher grades.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
