Qualified Psychology teacher. Think like an AQA examiner!

LABOUT ME: • Nicole, 29 • London, IG8 • AQA Psychology teacher for GCSE and A-Level QUALIFICATIONS: • Qualified Psychology Teacher with QTS (2022) • PGCE (2022) University of Greenwich • BSc Psychology & Counselling (2016) University of Roehampton WHY CHOOSE ME AS A TUTOR: • My students have a high success rate of achieving at least 1 grade higher than their predicted grades • Lessons are tailored to the individual student and their goals. In our first lesson skills are tested and goals are set. These are adjusted when needed • As a qualified teacher my lessons will be of high quality. I have been trained to plan meticulous lessons that are motivating, engaging and use a range of assessment tools to assess student’s abilities and progress • In my personal opinion where I have seen students fall short is not in their knowledge, but in their ability to answer the exam questions how the EXAMINER wants. For this reason, I focus on more than just the content. My lessons have a big emphasis on: o Building the student’s confidence o Making sure students understand the mark scheme in depth from an examiners perspective so that they know how to best answer a question o Building skills required to get those top grades such as: - counterarguing - writing skills designed to be read by examiners - using key terminology - addressing common misconceptions - application skills - evaluation skills - understanding command words. • I will create resources and a scheme of work centred about the individual student so that students and parents can keep track of their learning journey • Parents are kept in the loop and I welcome phone calls every 5 lessons to update you on your child’s progress (no charge) REQUIREMENTS:  Students will be given homework as a way for me to measure their progress Please feel free to message me with any questions you have about my tutoring services. Alternatively, I am also happy to schedule a free phone call.
