In my lessons, I will focus on the application of knowledge in preperation for A-level exams. This is through examining the specfifcation and targetting what needs to be met for a good essay and to make use of everything you have learnt! A-level content is extremelt overwhelming, even with the right knowledge it can still be difficult to achieve the grade you want. And so, I will help you perfect your skills in condensing and making efficient use of your knowledge. I will also help break down anything you struggle with in regards to any of the topics on the specification, and work on how to evaluate and properly comprehend these topics to futher your understanding. A-level psychology isn't just about memorising, but also problem solving and adapting what you know, so I will help you learn this skill as it can be applied to all bases. The methodology I will use is working on essay planning, identifying evaluation points, blurting and overall repitition of knowledge. The best way to remember and also understand something is practice. Something I found helpful in my revision was visual mindmaps to condense all your knowledge into relevant catagories, so I will encorporate this into my teachings. Using multiple different examples also helps, especially in research methods which is most commonly the most difficult area, so I will usew a variety of learning examples that are both fun and useful to breakdown the complexity of research. I will also go through practice papers to familairse yourself with exams, they aren't as scary as they seem!
