Tutor Profile

Natasha

Private English and Psychology Tutor in New Milton

Hi I am Natasha - I’m an experienced teacher, tutor and examiner with over 15 years of experience in education, specialising in Psychology, Sociology and English Language across GCSE, A Level and IB programmes. I am a UK trained and experienced teacher who now works fully online delivering high quality tutoring.

My teaching background includes working in British and international schools in the UK and Europe, including as Head of Psychology and as an IB Psychology teacher. I have also worked as an IB Psychology examiner and as an examiner for A Level and GCSE qualifications, giving me a detailed understanding of what examiners are looking for and, importantly, what separates a good answer from an excellent one.

Teaching Experience

I have been teaching now for 19 years! The first 8 years of my career were spent in a high achieving UK state school where I delivered GCSE and A Level Sociology and Psychology. I also began a successful program designed to boost students' literacy and enhance their exam performance across all subjects. I also undertook an MA in education to ensure my teaching was first class.

I then moved overseas, working at top British Schools in Romania, Thailand and Italy. During this time I set up my own business offering private teaching with clients across the world. My online clients now include UK Local Authorities, private students aiming for world class universities and home schooled athletes.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring is very much student-centred and tailored to the individual. I don’t believe in simply working through a textbook or giving students more worksheets. I focus on identifying exactly where a student is struggling, building the missing foundations and then giving them the tools to become more confident and independent. I build warm relationships with my students so they feel supported and empowered in their academic journey.

For exam subjects, I place a strong emphasis on exam technique, assessment objectives, essay structure, application, evaluation and understanding mark schemes. I teach students how to actually use their knowledge in an exam, rather than simply memorising content.

My daughter started a two year GCSE Psychology course with Ms Natasha in the middle of year 10. The progress she has made in just 1-2 months is incredible. Ms 's lessons are fascinating and my daughter is very interested in them. I believe that achieving good results depends on the teacher's teaching method. Ms is exactly that kind of teacher. I am happy that I found her as my daughter's teacher and I highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your kind comments, your daughter is a pleasure to work with and I'm very happy to have the opportunity to teach her!

A positive start, I hope it continues. I feel slightly more confident than I did.

BenFirst Tutors

Excellent teacher. Within 3 weeks with Natasha, Emma's confidence has accelerated from not understanding sociology to now feeling she understands what it is about and how to answer the questions adequately. Natasha comes across as very caring and relates well to students in whatever their needs are. We are very pleased with the help she is giving Emma.

Natasha has been invaluable to my daughter over the past few weeks with Sociology tuition. She has a very good approach, and my daughter seemed to gel with her straight away. I only wish that we had made contact with her sooner! Would have no hesitation in recommending her further.

Friendly, knowledgeable and makes sociology enjoyable! Would definitely recommend.
