I start by getting to know the student - what sort of understanding of the subject they already have, what areas they think they need the most help on, and their learning style. I then adjust the way I teach accordingly - for example, if a student is struggling with remembering facts, I can help them make a Leitner box with flash cards and a schedule of when to practice which section of cards if they are a more visual learner, or organise the material into a speech that they can record and listen to regularly if they're more auditory focused, etc.
I am able to help with both content and exam technique. Having completed an AQA A-Level, I am most comfortable with teaching AQA in the following topics:
- Social influence
- Memory
- Attachment
- Psychopathology
- Approaches in Psychology
- Biopsychology
- Research methods
- Issues and debates in Psychology
- Cognition and development
- Schizophrenia
- Forensic Psychology
However, I am also able to help with other topics, and with exam technique from other exam boards. Furthermore, I have experience with investigative EPQs, and so can help with these as well. I have experience tutoring my peers and assisting with research projects, essays, and homework across many different formats.
I know I may not have as much experience as some of the other tutors on here, but I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, and my rates are flexible. So, if you're interested, please contact me!
