I have taught AQA psychology for 13 years. I am a reliable and supportive teacher who goes above and beyond for my students. In my school I consistently receive positive feedback from learning walks and observations. My students consistently achieve strong results; in the most recent examination session in August 2023, I proudly maintained a 100% pass rate, with an impressive 33.3% of my students achieving A* to A grades. These outcomes reflect my commitment to delivering exceptional educational outcomes for my students.

I am an experienced examiner for AQA which has equipped me with an in-depth understanding of the assessment requirements and arrangements for AQA psychology, ensuring that I can effectively prepare students for their examinations.

My additional experience, in the training of new psychology teachers pursuing PGCEs, showcases my in-depth understanding of psychology specifications and assessment requirements. This background should instil confidence in you that I am well-equipped to provide high-quality tutoring in this subject.

I am also a committee member of the Association for Teachers of Psychology. This role reflects my commitment to staying current and so you can be reassured that my teaching includes the most up to date and relevant research.

I constantly seek ways to enhance my knowledge and teaching strategies. Last year, I conducted research with KS5 psychology students to develop a new feedback strategy for essays, which led to significant progress among my students. My passion for teaching extends beyond the classroom, as I have also been entrusted with training new teachers and mentoring psychology PGCE students.

In addition, my role as a sixth form tutor has allowed me to successfully support students in their university applications, with a 100% success rate in my tutor group receiving offers from multiple universities. I have also guided three students through the application process for Oxbridge universities, with one securing a second interview—an achievement that speaks to my ability to provide valuable guidance to those students pursuing psychology degrees.

I am a friendly and approachable tutor who will tailor sessions to your needs. I will work with you to identify areas of strength and weakness and will help you to develop your exam technique. I will provide you with resources and activities to help you to develop your knowledge and understanding of the course content. I will also provide you with feedback on your work and will help you to identify areas for improvement.
