Information About Anna:

Personal Description:

I am very passionate about psychology, because of this I not only know the A'level curriculum thoroughly but my knowledge and interest reaches way beyond the boundaries of the syllabus. I received the prize for academic achievement when I was studying for my own psychology A'level and I graduated from Birmingham University with a 1st class Psychology degree. Since then I have read widely on a variety of related topics, I completed a foundation year in psychotherapy which has added another dimension to my understanding of the subject. I have also travelled widely around india and israel which has given me a multicultural perspective on understanding people and their behaviour. From my varied experience I bring lots of real life examples and stories to facilitate understanding and application of psychological theory and practice. Despite being asked on several occasions to return to teaching I feel that the personal approach and flexibility of private tutoring is more appealing to me.

Teaching Experience:

I have 3 years experience teaching A'level psychology at Shoebury High School. During this time I also had private tutoring sessions with students who needed extra support to achieve in this subject.

Tutoring Approach:

I would first identify the students' area of weakness, whether it be in understanding theory or essay writing skills. I would be able to help in a number of ways depending on where the weakness would lie. For example I could explain theories using real life examples to aid the students' understanding, and explain how the studies conducted support or undermine the theory. I can advise on what is needed for a good exam answer and guide the student to help them achieve this using their own previous work. I also have games, puzzles and past exam papers to set as homework, as well as recommendations for additional resources for the student to research.

Qualifications:

• Psychology 1st Class BSc Hons
• 5 A'levels (Psychology, Art, English Literature, Politics, General Studies)
