Tutor Profile

Lauren

Private Psychology Tutor in Hitchin

I have been teaching and tutoring AQA A level Psychology since 2009, was made a Head of Psychology in 2013, and have an excellent record of getting the best from my students, with the majority exceeding their target grades. I now tutor full-time and am a senior examiner.

Teaching Experience

I have taught AQA Psychology (AS and A level) for 17 years so have excellent knowledge of the specification and a huge bank of resources I can share. I have used the “green haired boy” and "pink haired girl" textbooks with my own students, so if they are familiar with those then I’ll discuss the specific studies and evaluation issues that they have already been taught at school.

As a senior examiner, I know exactly how to answer each type of exam question and can teach them to quickly identify what is needed and how to make the most of their time in the exam. I can also help students avoid the common mistakes which cost them marks.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are personalised to the needs of the student. For example, if they have exams coming up soon, I can provide condensed content revision, as well as exam skills practice. Or if they’ve struggled with a particular topic (or missed a lot of lessons for it) then I can teach it at a pace they’re comfortable with, using a variety of techniques including discussion, worksheets and exam questions.

My lessons take place online via Zoom and my 1-to-1 prices are as follows: Weekday evenings: £60 per hour Weekday daytimes: Discounted rate of £50 per hour Weekends: Premium rate of £80 per hour.

If you’re interested, then please message me to discuss my availability or to book a free chat.

TimFirst Tutors

I was looking for someone with good experience of teaching the curriculum, psychology and the exam process. Lauren proved to be an excellent choice with updates to me after each session, homework for son to do and great timekeeping. Son confirms that she knows her stuff, brings it into the real world and can explain clearly how to get the most out of an exam answer. A friendly but firm attitude, along with flexibility when needed and options for further lessons she has proven to be a good choice. I would highly recommend her.
