Tutoring Experience

• I have over 30 years experience of teaching Psychology and Sociology.
• I have tutored over 300 students via First Tutors, both in the UK and Internationally

I have marked for AQA for 25 years and worked as a team leader and on the Senior Exam Team. I also mark for Edexcel, Educas / WJEC and have some experience with OCR, so I have a good understanding of the skills that are needed to be successful at A level and GCSE!

Tutoring Approach

A levels have always described as being a big step up from GCSE and I know that having a tutor, giving one to one support, can help to give a real boost.
I provide question banks of past exam papers questions and spend lessons going through content and exam structure to ensure that students know what is expected of them. Exam technique is everything!
I am on hand to give advice and support outside of scheduled lesson times.
I set regular homework tasks and past exam paper questions to assess progress.
I can give written reports and verbal feedback on your son / daughter’s progress if required.
If you have any questions please just ask!
