Amanda

I am a Psychology A-Level Tutor with experience teaching all examination boards, including AQA, Pearson Edexcel, Cambridge OCR, Cambridge International and WJEC.

I am a qualified Psychology teacher with 25 years experience teaching in Sixth Form and FE Colleges. Having managed a successful Psychology Department I have helped thousands of students achieve high grades and reach their full potential. I am also an experienced examiner having worked with a range of exam boards (AQA, CIE, Edexcel, IB and OCR) for the past 17 years.

Qualifications include; BSc Honours degree in Psychology with Biology and a Masters (MSc) degree in Psychology.

Teaching Experience

As an experienced Head of Department and Teacher, I am extremely familiar with all exam board specifications and their assessment criteria.

I have a vast knowledge of the content within A-Level Psychology and an in-depth understanding of the assessment objectives (AO1, AO2 and AO3) which help students maximise their grade. I am happy to provide support for any Psychology exam board specification (UK or International).

I offer detailed revision materials and exam focused resources to all my tutees, to help them achieve the highest grade possible. General resources are available on my website now (studypsychology). In addition to 1:1 online sessions, I offer extra support via marking and feedback packages which have an emphasis on exam success.

Tutoring Approach

All of my tuition is carried out on a 1:1 basis via video or audio link, giving students an extensive personalised lesson.

In addition to weekly lessons, students have the option to receive feedback on their exam skills and technique through additional homework and marking packages (additional fees due). Many students take advantage of these during the exam period to build confidence and prepare for the final exams. Feedback from students suggests it helps build their skills and ensures they are completing exam questions in line with the assessment objectives. Please see my reviews for parent and student feedback.
