The tuition sessions are running on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I can also do Saturday drop-ins for students who may require extra support. The lessons are planned to meet the demands of the students in A level Psychology. The format of my lessons is as follows, the students will provide me with any key topics that they may be potentially struggling with, I will provide them with appropriate quality resources, such as recapping any content which was not fully understood in class by looking through the booklets and providing with my more simplified but thorough notes to help them understand particular areas of the topic. I then test the person's knowledge by asking them to answer interactive online quizzes and knowledge checks or answering exam style questions with specific focus on use of key terminology. Apart from this, I pay special attention to exam style techniques in essay-writing, giving special attention to the key points needed as well as how to structure those points. A range of exam techniques may be used in my lessons, e.g. looking at exemplar answers for each of the papers and discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the answers written by previous students and then helping students to improve their answers by emulating the style of those answers.

Each week, students will be assigned a piece of homework, this could be completing sets of exam style questions which may be pre-existing or formed by me, ranging from short answer questions to essays on the key topics. These pieces of homework will allow me to pin-point the areas which the students are proficient in and which topic areas require my attention to help them achieve their full potential. In addition, I will be providing additional support for the homework set by sending in any notes, past quizzes or tasks that we may have completed and the students can feel free to email me if they have any questions regarding the homework or what we have covered in the classes.
