Emily Jones

My lessons are friendly, structured, and completely tailored to each student. I start by listening carefully to your goals, strengths, and areas you find challenging so I can build a personalised plan that works for you. I’m patient, understanding, and very student-focused, and I want you to feel confident asking questions and exploring ideas.
I use evidence-based teaching approaches drawn from psychology itself. This includes “scaffolding” (breaking complex topics into manageable steps), active learning techniques to help you apply theories, and metacognitive strategies that build your ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate your own learning. I also take a constructivist approach, helping you link new ideas to what you already know so concepts feel meaningful rather than memorised.
Lessons can include theory explanations, exam preparation, essay support, case studies, and real-world examples from my experience working alongside forensic psychologists in the Scottish Prison Service. Whether you’re studying for A-Level Psychology, preparing for exams, or simply wanting to deepen your understanding, I create a supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace and build genuine confidence in the subject
