Emma Thompson

With nine years experience in education, and having supported hundreds of students through GCSE and A Level exams, I bring a wealth experience to providing individually designed tutoring sessions to students of all abilities.

I tailor tutoring sessions to meet the learning styles, needs and preferences of students. I encourage students to talk through their thinking process and use discussion exercises to develop students' self-awareness and critical thinking.

Sessions are always varied, with opportunities for discussion, reflection, written-based tasks, and looking at real-world examples of key Psychological theories.

If students are preparing for exams, we will look at past papers, model answers, and explore multi-modal ways of memorising key content.

Research has shown that using creativity not only make sessions more enjoyable, but also contributes to learning being embedded in long-term memory. As such, I always incorporate elements of creativity, for example, to represent a key concept, theory of piece of research from the Psychology curriculum.
