My lessons are structured, supportive, and designed to make Psychology and Sociology feel clear, relevant, and engaging. I begin each lesson with a short retrieval task to refresh key knowledge, followed by a clear explanation of new content using real-world examples, contemporary studies, and personal anecdotes to bring theories to life. I break down complex ideas into simple, memorable steps and use visual aids, modelling, and guided practice to help you feel secure in your understanding.

You won’t just listen—you’ll discuss ideas, explore case studies, and complete exam-style tasks that develop strong analytical and evaluative skills. I teach students how to use PEEL effectively so their answers are focused, well-structured, and exam-ready. We regularly look at model responses together so you can see exactly what examiners look for and how to improve your own work.

I’m a bubbly, personable teacher and I work hard to create a classroom environment where you feel confident asking questions and sharing ideas. You’ll also receive helpful resources such as scaffolded sheets, revision grids, and personalised feedback to support your progress.

As an experienced AQA examiner, I bring detailed insight into how marks are awarded and how students can maximise their performance. Whether you’re aiming for top grades or building your confidence in the foundations, my lessons will help you develop strong subject knowledge, critical thinking, and the ability to apply theories to everyday life.
