Cathryn

I am a successful leader of Psychology and RS teacher working in Cardiff . I have previously worked at a large High School, an outstanding independent boarding school and currently work at one of best co-educational schools in Cardiff. I have helped students achieve exceptional examination results and have been recognized for my outstanding lessons.
I graduated with Psychology in 2006, studied, completed a postgraduate certificate in Religious Studies in 2008 and completed a PGCE Secondary (Religious Education) in June 2009.

Tutoring Experience

I have been the lead and sole Psychology teacher at A level where results have been 100% A* to C grades, and AS results 100% A and B grades.
It was very gratifying to know that I contributed to students attaining the A* grade. This success coupled with the fact that 95% of my year 13 Psychology class achieved A*-B grade giving an indication of how successful I am in the class room. I now a teach the WJEC Psychology specifications and WJEC/Eduqas RS but have taught AQA Psychology and RS.
I can tutor in almost any specification.

Tutoring Approach

The results are due to a very organised, exam specific approach to learning that prepares students for the exam. I work on exam technique, gaps in knowledge and problems with understanding by setting tasks and working through issues. I can provide additional material for tutees that will support them in their learning and provide effective critique of work completed.
I am a WJEC Psychology examiner and understand how students are best able to achieve the most marks in the exam.
