I have tutored GCSE, A-level, Degree and Doctorate-level students on a range of subjects, although my main focus has been Psychology, Sociology, academic writing skills, Business Studies and Research Methods. I have written model essays for exam boards, proofread and edited work to be published, and worked on many dissertations and PhDs with university students.
For Psychology and Sociology, I adopt a systematic approach, and generally like to go over the material thoroughly, testing the student throughout, and spend time on previous exam papers and questions, planning essay answers, discussing how theories relate to real-life situations etc. I sometimes mind-map various themes and ideas with the student, and think outside the box as it were, to make sure that the ideas stem from the student's own work and thinking - so that they can remember it more fully and develop it in future (often students have more knowledge, ideas and insight than they realise, it just needs coaxing out of them!). I often tutor on coursework as well as examination preparation.

Amy's last review in Psychology from Sara: Amy gave me structure and direction when I felt completely lost and did not understand the topic well. I will be hiring Amy again..very soon as I'm in my third year and working on my dissertation :) Thank you Amy!
I am a fully qualified secondary school teacher and I have consistently been rated an ‘Outstanding lead subject teacher with an extensive subject knowledge and a passion for Psychology'. In addition I have now been tutoring on-line through Spires, for over a year. I am proud to say that I am highly respected by my students. Meticulous lesson planning and organisation of schemes of work and resources are paramount in my teaching. I have high expectations of all students and see my key strength in being able to impart confidence in them and their abilities. I have annually achieved amongst the best A Level results in a very able Grammar school, for a major subject: in 2018: 56% A*/A grades and achieving a 100% pass rate in all 5 years at the school. I am very proud at having inspired over a third of the Year 13 cohort, of 58 students, to go onto study psychology/psychology-based courses at University.
Karen's last completed Psychology job with Laura: Occasional - I am in my first year of IB Psychology (Pamoja taught). i occasionally have questions and would need support especially in biological approaches.
Karen's last review in Psychology from Laura: Localisation of function She gave me very good explanation and helped me understand a topic that was difficult for me.
I am a very warm and friendly tutor and I explain all concepts in easy terms. I can give you all the tips and tricks to get the best out of your learning. I teach dozens of students every year in private tutorials (online and in person), summer schools and at University level. I have over 10 years of tutorial experience in A Level Psychology (AQA, Edexcel, IB, WJEC), teaching the full spectrum of students from high-grade pupils who want to make sure they get top grades to failing students who need to start from scratch. I also taught Psychology full-time as the Head of Psychology at a private UK secondary school and so I understand the constraints of classroom teaching and the problems it can cause for students. I did my own A Level Psychology course through distance learning so I completely understand what it's like to be stuck with certain topics and because of this I try to explain everything as clearly as possible and give each student clear goals to work towards. After receiving top grades in my A Levels, I went on to complete undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degrees in Psychology.

Psychology job with Ben:
1-2 hrs/week - Hi My name is Ben. I work in humanitarian aid, for an emergency child protection organisation.I am based in London but travel quite a bit. I am studying for an MSc in Psychology part time around work (distance learning), with a view to pursue a clinical doctorate in the future.
I am looking for a tutor to help me out with some aspects of the course. Such as helping me fully understand assessments, providing second opinions/critiques on drafts of essays/assessments etc in order to reach the grade I would need. Alongside some help possibly understanding some of the more complex statistical research.
I have a masters in a different subject but am looking for someone who has studied psychology at postgraduate level to help me introduce myself to the study of a new science at a one to one level of depth I would not get from my course tutors. Partly as I need to obtain a merit overall in order to qualify for entry to a clinical doctorate.
Does this sound like something that could work for you?
Look forward to talking more soon
Best,
Ben
Laura's last review in Psychology from Angie: Report writing I love Laura's response rate and last-minute availability to help with those really important final details for impending deadlines - thank you, Laura!!
I have been teaching & tutoring Psychology, Research Methods & Academic writing (essays and reports) for over 7 years now to students of all ages whether mature students at undergraduate level & masters level; part time & full time students or seminar based and 1-1. This includes the joint UCL-Birkbeck Masters course for Critical Analysis which is a high level, rigorous module that develops the student's understanding in how to critique journal articles, how to remedy their shortcomings and writing future research or research proposals. I have also taught academic writing workshops, general foundations and was an honorary research fellow after graduating which led to the publication of my undergraduate dissertation.
Having trained as an outstanding A-level Psychology teacher with UCL (IOE) I can offer in depth exam technique for the new linear specification as I have worked closely with examiners & key authors of textbooks. I also offer assistance for writing structure, exam technique across degree and A-level.

Siobhain's last completed Psychology job with Khadija: 1-2_HOURS - Looking to get A in my subjects
Siobhain's last review in Psychology from Angie: Hi Siobhain, Below are notes for the essay I must do in place of an exam I missed due to sickness. I imagine grading criteria will be in line with the Intro to Psychology essay I did before (guidance uploaded to ‘Files’). The module is Debating Individual Differences. I have sent screenshot of book so you can see if you can find online version (to save me reading book to us. We may not need book though). The task: Write 1500 word essay (fully referenced and cited throughout). Usual 10% leeway on the word count (anything more than 10% will have 10 marks knocked off the final score. Option 1: Intelligence is biologically determined. Discuss. Option 2: There is no evidence for the implementation of Gardner's multiple intelligences theory in education. Discuss. We will do 1 hour today to make the essay plan and maybe find the papers I will talk about. I'll then put good 9 hours in today on my own. Tomorrow I hope to do (if you have availability) one hour to revise and finalise (I am only looking to score 40). We worked on creating effective essay plans today. I can already see that future essay prep time will be significantly reduced thanks to Siobhain's advice on how to approach this kind of task
I have 4 years of experience working as a student ambassador for the Cambridge Admissions Office. Through this role I have participated in several residential summer schools, assisting students with academic sessions in Psychology by ensuring that the students understood the material that was being covered in the lectures. I have also assisted during subject masterclasses in a variety of subjects, as well as giving presentations and providing advice on the university admission process. This has allowed me to remain up to date with the latest entrance requirements, as well as gain a first-hand look at the qualities that admission teams look for in a prospective student. I have also led sessions in my old school on writing a good personal statement and preparing for university interviews. In addition, I privately tutored friends in my spare time at university, both in Biology and Psychology, which allowed me to explore different ways of teaching and explaining complex ideas in easy-to-digest terms.

Mila's last review in Psychology from Zeyneb: Research Methods Lecture 2 It was a great lesson, and I really understand how statistics actually work now!
I have a very successful track record as a tutor of enabling my students and clients to meet the many challenges they face as they work towards a range of qualifications form GSCE to University degrees at all levels up to doctoral level. Over the last year in particular and my role as a Profs lecturer I have had many clients achieve their potential and beyond in relation to developing their academic writing, developing their understanding of the research process, competing dissertations while under pressure, grappling with statistics (SPSS) and research design and analysis within both quantitative (survey design, descriptive and inferential statistics) and qualitative research methods (thematic , discourse analyses and grounded theory). Many of these students were majoring in psychology, some in sport ,physical educations and dance and others in general education degrees. In addition, I have successfully supported a number of doctoral students who were experiencing difficulties within their doctoral journey and a range of students completing their final dissertations. My key strengths lie within the area of research and research methods and due to my own range of academic and professional experience I can tutor across a diverse range of subject areas. In summary I have worked with students for over 20 years and now have successfully embraced working as a very experienced online tutor.
