As a parent, you want a tutor who doesn’t just know psychology but knows how to teach it in a way your child can absorb, remember, and use in exams. That’s where I step in.

I’m a fully trained Teaching Assistant with SEN qualifications and 5-star reviews from every family I’ve supported. I combine strong academic credentials with hands-on classroom experience to help students at all levels — including those with additional needs or exam anxieties — achieve their best.

Why Parents Choose My Tutoring

Tailored to Each Child – Every student starts with a learning style assessment (Kolb model), so lessons are adapted to how your child learns best.

SEN-Aware Support – With specialist training in SEN and safeguarding, I understand how to build confidence, reduce stress, and support children with ADHD, ASD, or anxiety.

Exam Success Focus – I teach the Ofqual-regulated A-Level Psychology syllabus (AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas), breaking down complex topics into clear, step-by-step explanations. I also teach BTEC.

Proven Results – All of my students improve their grades, with many moving from predicted Cs and Ds to Bs and As. Parents consistently leave 5-star reviews for clarity, reliability, and impact.

I worked with James throughout my AQA Psychology A-Level, and his support made all the difference. He explained the trickier topics in a way that actually made sense and kept me motivated right up to the exams. I’m delighted to say I passed, and I know I couldn’t have done it without his help. If you’re taking AQA, James is the tutor you want in your corner.

Living with ADHD, I have frequently struggled with conventional approaches to learning. James’ SEN experience sets him apart entirely. His sessions are structured with both clarity and flexibility, designed to sustain my attention without ever feeling overwhelming. He seems really aware of the challenges neurodivergent learners face and adapts sessions to these, in my case breaking down complex theories into manageable steps or providing space for reflection when my focus wasnt great. I feel genuinely supported as a learner, rather than accommodated as a difficulty. James has transformed psychology from a source of anxiety into a subject I truly enjoy.

James helped me smash my A-Levels, and now I’m back with him for my BTEC. He explains psychology clearly, keeps the sessions structured, and — most importantly — brings a good sense of humour. Let’s be honest, some of the stats work is dull, but he makes it bearable (and even fun at times). Trust me, it helps!
