Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I currently teach Development Science tutorials, a core module in Experimental Psychology, at Somerville, St Edmund Hall, and Corpus Christi colleges, University of Oxford. I have extensive experience preparing A-Level Psychology students for exams and assisting UK state school students in securing places at Oxford, including successful interview preparation.

Tutoring Approach

For A-Level Psychology, I combine syllabus mastery with a deep understanding of exam marking criteria. My lessons are tailored to each student, focusing on consolidating learning and enhancing exam-specific skills. I use short, focused tasks to improve critical thinking and essay responses, ensuring students excel in their subject and feel confident in their understanding.
