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 have three years of experience tutoring A-Level Psychology, helping students achieve top grades and develop a deeper understanding of psychological concepts. I’ve supported students in preparing for the PBSAA and Oxbridge interviews, with many achieving admission success. Additionally, I guide students aspiring to pursue psychology degrees, equipping them with the necessary academic skills for higher education.

Tutoring Approach

As an A-Level Psychology tutor, I focus on addressing specific areas of difficulty. Students often bring homework or past exam questions to discuss during sessions, where I guide them to discover solutions independently. To solidify understanding, I create targeted worksheets and share comprehensive notes and additional reading materials. I also provide strategies for mastering essay-based exam questions and developing critical thinking skills, ensuring students excel in their A-Level Psychology exams.

“During my physics and maths GCSE’s I was extremely grateful to have Kirstie as my weekly mentor due to her organisation and drive for success. She tutored me not only in just these subjects, but also by giving me revision tips that I could then use across all of my studies. She was a great help!”

“...Kirstie’s honesty and kindness allowed me to enter the exam feeling confident in my own ability. I am in no doubt that without Kirstie’s dedication and advice I may not have passed the exam”
