Boost Your A Level Psychology with Expert Tutor from UCL !

Advert description
I'm currently studying for a BSc in Psychology at UCL, the 6th best institution in the world for this subject. I have a strong academic background, having achieved 4 A*s at A Level in Psychology, Biology, Economics, and Russian. In Psychology specifically, I scored 93% in Paper 3 (Issues and Options in Psychology), achieving 87% overall. At GCSE, I received 5 A*s and 4 As.

This academic foundation has given me a deep understanding of psychology, as well as a solid grasp of the most effective revision techniques and how to approach different types of A Level exam questions, especially as I completed my A Levels quite recently. I also have experience tutoring Psychology and Biology at my Sixth Form, and I was Head of the Psychology Society, where I regularly gave talks to younger students on topics beyond the curriculum.

My teaching style is very structured, which is essential for A Level Psychology. Each 8, 12, or 16-mark question requires a different structure depending on how it is worded. I focus on using active recall and flashcards to help students memorise key AO1 ( factual )content, and I encourage them to link theories and studies to research methods and issues and debates, which is crucial for developing strong AO3 evaluation skills. My lessons typically involve reviewing content through active recall, critically developing AO3 points, and planning evaluation paragraphs for each topic.

I also offer support with applications to psychology-related university courses, including personal statement guidance, identifying relevant super-curricular opportunities, and advice on what can be included in teacher references.

I genuinely enjoy helping others understand psychology and achieve their academic goals, and I believe my recent experience with the A Level course puts me in a great position to support current students.
