Worried about falling behind on your A Level Psychology course? As Head of Psychology at a top grammar school and Senior Examiner for AQA, I am available to help you get back up to speed with your learning, and be fully prepared for final exams come this summer or the next. I work hard to make tutoring easy to relate to, and use practical and realistic examples to make the subject more relevant. I focus heavily on exam tips and practice, using over a decade of experience as a senior AQA examiner to help get the important details across to students. I am keen to listen to my students, and provide them with whatever they feel would benefit them in order to succeed.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught Psychology at A Level (AQA) for fourteen years, and have been head of department for the last twelve of those. In that time I have single-handedly taken my department from 21st out of 24 subjects to one of the best in the school. I regularly have a dozen or more students leave to read Psychology at university, and numerous students of mine are now thriving in the field of psychology.
I am an examiner for AQA Psychology, meaning I have a strong understanding of what your examiners will be looking for come exam season. I use this to tailor your tutoring towards the exams, in a way that maximises your chances of success.

Tutoring Approach

I focus on whatever the student wants - be it going over lesson work, or learning whole topics from scratch. I prefer to engage with the students rather than talk at them, and find tutoring is most effective with lots of questioning and checking of knowledge. I provide notes and revision tools where needed, am happy to set and mark 'homework', and like to focus heavily on exam skills - not just how to answer exam questions, but what examiners will be looking for, and how to word your answers to maximise your chances of top marks!
