Charlotte Simpkin

Hi- my name is Charlotte, I am 18 and I study psychology at the University of Birmingham. In summer 2023 I say my exams, including psychology A-level in which I got an A*. The main thing I aim for in my lessons is to be as interactive as possible and to keep you engaged, so that revision feels less overwhelming. At the beginning of our tutoring I will ask you to complete some exam style questions for me, or to provide me with a recent test from school- this allows me to identify particular areas of content that we could improve on, and also shows me where you might be losing marks due to exam technique, for example if you tend to run out of time, or if you aren't structuring answers in the best way. From here, we can spend a bit of time at the start of the session revising the content you find the most difficult, and then we will spend some time of the session reviewing how this content should be applied with the best exam techniques to optimise your mark. Then there will be some interactive content to check you have understood the content, and finally we can practise some questions using the content to check you fully understand it. I will also give you access to the revision notes I made last year for each topic, so that before and after the session you can use these to continue revising independently. We can adjust the length or number of sessions each week so that you can either feel more supported when you feel it is needed, or we can reduce the amount of work if you have other subjects and commitments that need more attention that week!
