With 10 years of experience as a teacher and subject leader of A Level Psychology at a London school, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record to my tutoring. Over the past 10 years, my students have consistently achieved results in the top 10% nationally, and a recent Ofsted inspection rated my psychology provision as ‘outstanding’. I specialise in helping students to fully understand exam requirements, produce high-level answers, and gain a deep understanding of the AQA specification, improving their confidence in the A Level psychology course. I’m passionate about making psychology accessible and engaging, supporting each student to reach their full potential.
