Marie

Hi there my name is Marie and I am a friendly, patient and enthusiastic tutor who loves to help my students to achieve the best grades possible. I am confident that I can support my students learning the Edexcel and AQA specification of Psychology, AQA Sociology and OCR/BTEC health and social care to understand the content, as well as to improve their exam skills which is evident in the improved high grades they receive. I am passionate about my role to facilitate learning and understanding and can't wait to meet you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or want to know my availability.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a teacher for the last 10 years in London, and have been a head of department of Psychology, Sociology and Health and Social Care for the last 5. I am now working in my 3rd school in Derby, and have enjoyed catering my teaching to students from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. I have experience in working closely with students who are not meeting their potential, helping them to identify their barriers and give personalized support to ensure they succeed. I am able to use my knowledge and experience from my role as a teacher to give specific guidance on how to improve exam structure, how to revise content in the build up to exams and to help understand challenging content.

Tutoring Approach

I firmly believe there is not a 'one size fits all' approach in tutoring and value getting to know my students and how they learn, what they want to achieve in our sessions and will cater them to your style of learning. I am aware of the common difficulties in studying Psychology, Sociology and/or health and social care and will be able to provide support and extra guidance to help bring you closer to reaching the grades that you are hoping to achieve.
I am a successful teacher and have been identified as a strong classroom practitioner in my subjects, due to having strong subject and exam knowledge and being able to support students to meeting the top grades.
