Tom

Psychology teacher at a successful 6th form centre in Winchester, personally teaching approximately 200 students. I thoroughly enjoy psychology and teaching a subject I love brings great satisfaction to me.
I also work with the exam boards as an external examiner, and I regularly attend professional development courses with AQA to ensure expertise both in subject knowledge and teaching methods.
I trained to teach at the University of Exeter, where I was graded 'outstanding' by Ofsted in my PGCE qualification.

My rates are negotiable for block bookings and small group sessions.

Exam board external examiner.
1 year secondary school teaching.

Tutoring Approach

I take pride in my ability to help students make progress in the subject that I love. Psychology can be such an interesting and engaging topic and it is important that this is part of the learning experience.
I take a very personalised approach to teaching and tutoring, recognising that every student has different needs and I will start by listening and understanding the student at an individual level. I prefer 1-2 hours per week after an initial session of 90 minutes.

I like to focus more exam technique as this is where many students struggle, and my experience as an examiner is valuable. Weekly sessions also allow for boosting knowledge and understanding of the vast content.
I am confident in my ability to improve anyone's grade, or ensure that A/A* that many students will be aiming for.

I am happy to travel, I can cover Winchester, Ringwood, and the New Forest.
