Having been a private tutor for 7 years now, I have been referred to as being a positive, personable tutor with high expectations for all my students. I work to understand how you learn and tutor to meet your individual needs whilst building exam technique which is crucial to success. My aim is to build confidence in tutees because this will help you believe you can be the best you and as such, are more likely to achieve your goal.
I have 23years A level psychology teaching experience, I am an examiner for AQA exam board specialist, with 18 years’ experience of examining A level psychology. I am a 6th form tutor helping with UCAS entries amongst an array of other issues/areas and Curriculum Team Leader for the Extended Project.
I believe the student should be comfortable with their tutor, I am a friendly person who looks for the best in all students. I believe psychology is very much a skill-based subject as well as content heavy and with my examining experience, feel I am competent at building the skills necessary for success at A level.
