James Hartshorn – Experienced Psychology Tutor

Hello, my name is James Hartshorn, and I specialise in A-Level Psychology tutoring, ensuring every lesson is structured to match the Ofqual-regulated syllabus while adapting to your individual learning style.

Before we start, I use a Kolb-style Learning Assessment to identify how you learn best—whether through discussion, structured exercises, applied examples, or hands-on problem-solving. This ensures that our lessons are not just effective, but tailored to maximise your understanding and exam performance.

My Qualifications & Approach:
MBA in Psychology (Merit) + Diploma in Positive Psychology
British Psychological Society accredited in psychometrics
Saville-trained assessor – Expertise in structured assessments
25 years in talent management & education

My teaching method breaks down complex psychological theories into clear, structured steps. I use syllabus-mapped exercises, past paper analysis, and exam-focused techniques to help you understand key topics and apply them confidently in assessments.

How I Support Your Learning:
? Syllabus Alignment: Lessons are tailored to your specific exam board (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas) and designed to meet Ofqual’s curriculum standards.
? Exam Strategy: Step-by-step guidance on answering questions, structuring arguments, and maximising marks.
? Academic Writing Support: Improve essay clarity, research skills, and critical analysis.
? Personalised Learning: Lessons match your strengths, whether you learn best through discussion, practice, or structured exercises.

Sessions are delivered online via MS Teams or in person near Winchester, providing a professional, focused, and engaging learning experience.
