Personal Description:
I graduated from the University of Oxford in 2011 with a degree in Experimental Psychology, and received a Masters in 2015. I have been tutoring for over 10 years, and run a company focused on inspiring students to reach their potential through study techniques based on neuroscientific evidence. This involves delivering interactive workshops for students in schools and colleges across London, as well as through ebooks and other online resources I have created!

I love teaching and thrive on the satisfaction of helping a student reach their goal; I welcome students of all abilities, motivation levels and confidence levels. What sets me apart from most is that as well as tutoring my students, I take the role of a mentor, to motivate, encourage and guide them towards success. My students also benefit from my knowledge of study skill techniques, which I integrate into my teaching to maximise students' memory retention.

For students applying for Oxbridge, I am able to provide valuable advice on interview techniques and personal statements, as well as provide contacts to graduates from Oxford University from a range of subjects. I am also able to tutor students for entrance exams e.g. 11+.

Teaching Experience:
I have tutored extensively for 10 years at Primary, GCSE, A-level, and Degree level with excellent results. I have had students move up by up to 4 grade boundaries at both GCSE and A Level; for the 11+ I have helped students secure places (including scholarships) at excellent institutions such as Dulwich College. At degree level, my Psychology students have achieved 1sts and 2:1s. I am happy to provide references on request!

Tutoring Approach:
My first step is always to assess exactly where my student is at so that I can plan the content for sessions accordingly and make sure that they get the best out of each lesson. If there are any gaps in the foundations of their knowledge we can then attack these head on. My approach is thus very organised and tailored to the specific needs of the student, with small goals set per session alongside a long term goal to work towards. I always ensure that my lessons are engaging, and work towards building a good relationship with my students, encouraging them to ask questions without any hesitation. I adapt my approach depending on my students' learning style as I feel this is the key to successful teaching.

At GCSE and A Level, my aim is always to make sure that students are completely familiar with the subject specification and assessment objectives as this dictates exactly where they can pick up most marks. Completing as many past papers as possible is also a step in the right direction, alongside completing assignments set by myself. I always give very detailed feedback so that my students know exactly where they can improve, and how to apply it to their work going forward.

My approach for students studying Psychology at degree level depends on what is required. Most students require guidance with essays, reports, dissertations and write ups; I usually go through the assignment with the student giving valuable, detailed feedback on what can be improved and exactly how they can go about doing so. This can involve several redrafts until the work has been completed to the students' full potential.

Personal Description:
I live in Olney , I am 63, female, and can supply references on request, as I have provided private tuition for many A level and University students. I was Head of Psychology at a local college for 12 years , and I have examining experience. I now also lecture in BSc and MSc Psychology while undertaking my PhD which is looking at interventions to reduce stress in students.

Teaching Experience:
I worked as a Psychology Lecturer at Northampton College. I taught AS and A2 Psychology , I also taught Access Psychology. All previous tuttees I have supported have attained A-B grades if they start with me early enough in the year. I now lecture at my local university in Psychology.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is to tailor the method to the learner, I would aim to work through exam answers, but also to introduce all types of methods to help the learner take on the information. I very much focus on exam technique and how to maximie getting all of the available marks in the exams.

Subjects

Personal Description:
I have spent many years accumulating a wide range of academic qualifications, and my work has often primarily consisted of passing on my knowledge to others in a form they can understand. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people to understand something they thought was beyond them. By virtue of having studied several subjects at a high level, I empathise with the feeling of finding something difficult, and have the patience and technique to get past this. I am not a single-subject specialist who might find it difficult to understand why others struggle in their area of expertise.
For students who are preparing for exams, my knowledge of examination technique, and an empathy with the marker, should be invaluable. I always keep in mind the importance of the student's goals, but never take myself too seriously.

Teaching Experience:
My whole career has been geared towards some form of teaching. I have trained groups of adults and children, as well as individuals, in elements of mathematics, psychology, actuarial science, pensions, and even tennis! I have tutored both of my children through IGCSEs, GCSEs, and A-levels (one was home-schooled, the other attended a local comprehensive and 6th Form College). Both obtained numerous As and A*s, and I was particularly pleased to help my daughter to achieve 3 A*s in her A2 exams.

Tutoring Approach:
I look at what is important for the student. I emphasise clear, logical ways of working, and clear presentation. I make sure that they realise that they not only need to understand why they are doing something, but they must also be able to explain it clearly. Explaining a difficult concept to someone else can often be the best way to make yourself remember it. I am calm and patient, and English is my first language, all of which can help when a student finds something tricky.

I am consistently available for tutoring during weekday daytimes. I will sometimes be available in the evenings and at weekends, but this will be by arrangement and should not be relied upon.

Personal Description:
Specialist in intensive Psychology, Anthropology & Sociology tuition, revision and exam preparation/technique for A-level, undergraduate and post-graduate students.

Teaching Experience:
A-level Psychology & Sociology
I have taught A-level for more than 20 years and am an examiner for a number of boards.
Many of my tutees have gone on to score 100% in units and after a comparatively short period of time improved their predicted grade/previous A-level score by several grades.

Undergraduate & post-graduate Anthropology, Psychology & Sociology
I have worked with students across these three subjects from most Russell Group universities providing general support through the course and/or assistance with specific assignments.

I hold a BSc in Anthropology from UCL and a PGCE from the Institute of Education, London.

Tutoring Approach:
A-level Psychology & Sociology.
As a specialist in exam-focused, intensive tuition, I provide tutees with full, clear, concise class notes and revision materials specifically aimed at ensuring that they understand exactly what is required in answers, how to address exam board assessment criteria, how to structure essays, how to manage time in exams, how to structure and manage revision, and strategies and tactics to maximise success. I can provide tutees with a huge bank of past paper questions and full model answers to accompany these questions.
Homework will be provided to tutees and marked as it would be by official examiners in live exams - thus, strengths and weaknesses can be addressed. A lot of assignments/homework will be set for tutees to complete between sessions.
I am an engaging, approachable tutor who enjoys teaching and makes learning interesting, rewarding and enjoyable. However, I will make demands on tutees in line with their aspirations and be entirely honest with parents and tutees about progress.

Undergraduate & post-graduate Anthropology, Psychology & Sociology
I can provide expert help in decoding question requirements, breaking essays and dissertations down into manageable chunks, and planning and structuring work in-line with module reading lists and marking criteria.

Recent testimonials state:

"Incredible tutor! Helped me achieve an A* in Psychology A-level while also helping me with my university application and personal statement. Makes really helpful and concise notes which allowed me to achieve top grades in the A level without having to write a huge amount in essays. Thank you so much Jeremy"

"Our daughter received a C in her Sociology mock in February and with the help of Jeremy she has just achieved an A* in her A level exam. Jeremy was supportive and followed the direction of her strengths and weaknesses, supplying detailed notes each week on her chosen topic, and giving specific feedback and a graded mark on each assigned practice question completed. Jeremy made sure each possible area was covered prior to the exam."

"Jeremy has been a godsend! He has helped my daughter through her Anthropology degree, which is a difficult subject. He is kind, thoughtful, hard-working, straight talking, reliable, understands the remit and supports through difficult times.
She was awarded a first.
Thank you, Jeremy."

"Jeremy has made work that I initially found rather complex very easy to understand. He structured what I needed to do so well that I started to wonder why I was even worried in the first place. He has been unbelievably helpful with both Psychology and Anthropology."

I believe this is best achieved through enquiry-based learning: I always encourage students to ask questions, because doing so helps stimulate critical thinking and allows them to take an active role in their learning. We can start from the basics and gradually work our way through the subject using a series of custom-made study notes, intensive revision sessions and back-and-forth conversations!

Personal Description:
I am a friendly and approachable tutor with extensive experience in academia, both as a graduate teacher and a student (I'm currently a PhD Psychology student). Having completed my GCSEs, A-levels, a BSci in Psychology, an MSci in Psychological Research, and currently pursuing a PhD in Perceptual Psychology, I understand the challenges students face. I know what it is like to miss something or not quite grasp a concept as explained by a lecturer. While I love studying, I also recognise that it can be difficult, so I maintain a strict no-question-is-stupid policy. I encourage you to ask me anything and everything related to our studies.

Teaching Experience:
I bring over four years of teaching experience as a graduate teaching assistant, specialising in guiding first-year undergraduate students who are just beginning their journey in Psychology. During this time, I have gained extensive experience teaching a wide range of topics and modules within the Psychology degree program through interactive seminars and lectures. I am currently undertaking the Advanced HE Associate Fellowship to develop and demonstrate my teaching excellence.

A significant aspect of my role involves teaching students how to write academic essays that meet university-level standards, which differ substantially from A-level expectations. I am well-versed in the university mark scheme, having assessed and provided feedback on many different essays and practical reports. This experience has honed my skills in delivering constructive written feedback and conducting one-on-one feedback sessions to help students improve their work.

In addition to my role as a teaching assistant, I also have experience as a teaching demonstrator, where I provided hands-on instructions and facilitated practical sessions for second-year students. This role allowed me to engage students in experimental aspects of psychology to reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application.

Furthermore, my ongoing PhD studies in Psychology keep me at the forefront of current research and methodologies which I incorporate into my teaching to provide students with up-to date knowledge and practices.

With a commitment to fostering a supportive learning environment, I am dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a deeper understanding of Psychology. My experience, combined with my passion for teaching, makes me an excellent choice for students at various levels of their academic journey.

Tutoring Approach:
I understand that everyone learns best in different ways, so my teaching is flexible and tailored to you as an individual. I offer a free initial session where we will discuss the topics you wish to cover, your academic goals, the skills you want to develop, any problem areas, and your preferred learning methods. Together we will create a personalised plan of action to make sure you get the most out of your sessions.

My methods are highly adaptable and depend on your preferred learning styles and level of study. Below are some examples of the methods I may use in our sessions. The list is not exclusive and our lessons will likely involve a combinations of these and other techniques:
- Lectures and PowerPoint presentations via screen sharing technology
- Call-and-response sessions to reinforce learning
- In-depth discussions on key topics
- Student-led Q&A sessions
- Essay and assignment planning
- Proofreading and feedback to improve your writing
- Reviews of relevant published papers
- 'Journal club' style meetings
- Oral presentation practice (online)

If you have friends who are interested in a group tutoring sessions, this is can be arranged. Reach out about this and we can discuss it further.

I am extremely passionate and dedicated to these subjects and absolutely love teaching both of them. I have two degrees in Psychology - a BA (Hons) in Educational Psychology and MsC in Psychological Sciences from Brunel University, London.

As a Mother of two, I fully understand how important it is to support your child's education and I am dedicated to helping your child succeed in these subjects! I am patient, reliable, and focused on creating a supportive environment that encourages growth, confidence, and academic success.

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Teaching Experience:
I have a PGCE with QTS in Psychology from University College London, Institute of Education. I am a full time teacher at a secondary school situated in North London.
I have been teaching A-Level Psychology (AQA) for two years and GCSE Psychology (AQA) for one year, as well as BTEC Health and Social Care Tech Award.
I have been working in Education for over 12 years, and started as a Teaching Assistant.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is student-centered, supportive, and adaptable. I begin by identifying the student's current level of understanding and any specific challenges they may be facing. From these challenges, I use an integrated and collaborative approach with the student at how we can best face these challenges using specific tasks.

I focus on breaking down complex concepts into simple, manageable parts, and I encourage active participation through questions, practice problems, and real-life examples. My goal is not just to help students get the right answers, but to build their confidence, critical thinking, and long-term understanding of the subject - fostering their love and passion for it! I also provide regular feedback and adjust my teaching strategies based on what works best for each individual.

My personal strengths lie with supporting the student with exam technique. For example, how to answer exam based questions using specific subject terminology and focusing strongly on how to write these answers in an academic way. I use techniques such as scaffolding and modelling to embed these concepts, and this has proven successful with my cohort of students.

Most importantly, I aim to create a positive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and are motivated to keep improving.

Personal Description:
I am a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong background in social sciences, committed to making complex ideas accessible and engaging for students. With a First-Class Honours degree in Social Anthropology from a Russell Group university, Qualified Teacher Status, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (passed with distinction) specialising in Sociology and Psychology, I bring both academic rigor and a deep enthusiasm for the subjects I teach.
I thrive on fostering curiosity and understanding, using contemporary examples to bridge theory with real-world relevance. My ability to simplify intricate concepts ensures that students not only grasp material but also develop critical thinking skills that extend beyond the classroom.
With experience working across mainstream and private educational settings, I have supported students with diverse learning needs, tailoring my approach to ensure every learner reaches their potential. My organised and driven nature, coupled with a keen interest in sociology and psychology beyond academic settings, allows me to create enriching learning experiences that inspire confidence and engagement.
I firmly believe that it is a privilege to be part of a student's learning journey, helping them unlock their potential and sharing in their success. Whether working one-on-one or in group settings, I am dedicated to providing a structured yet approachable learning environment where students feel supported, challenged, and motivated to excel.

Teaching Experience:
With over a decade of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working with students across diverse learning environments, tailoring my approach to meet individual needs and foster academic growth.
For 10 years, I worked as a teaching assistant in a private specialist provision, supporting young people with a range of complex needs. This role allowed me to develop a deep understanding of differentiated learning strategies, adaptive teaching methods, and the importance of creating an inclusive and supportive educational space. Working closely with students, families, and multidisciplinary teams, I honed my ability to navigate challenges with patience, empathy, and professionalism, ensuring that every learner felt empowered in their educational journey.
In the past 3 years, I transitioned into mainstream settings, specialising in GCSE and A-Level Psychology and Sociology under both Edexcel and AQA specifications. In this role, I have had the opportunity to lead students through rigorous academic content, equipping them with the analytical skills needed to engage critically with complex theories and real-world applications. My experience in mainstream education has reinforced my ability to deliver structured yet accessible lessons, bridging foundational concepts with contemporary examples to enhance engagement and understanding.
Across both specialist and mainstream settings, my commitment remains the same-to create an environment where students feel supported, challenged, and confident in their abilities. Whether working with learners who require tailored interventions or guiding students through demanding academic curricula, I am dedicated to ensuring each individual reaches their potential.

Tutoring Approach:

In my current role at a high-performance secondary sixth form, I facilitate targeted intervention sessions, supporting students in attaining higher grades by refining their understanding of complex topics and exam techniques.
My approachable nature and in-depth subject expertise allow me to build trust with students, ensuring they feel confident engaging with challenging material. I focus on scaffolding knowledge and skills, carefully guiding learners through structured progressions that enhance comprehension and application. Additionally, I am adept at modelling effective written responses, empowering students to meet the demands of their content and develop strong analytical and evaluative skills essential for excelling in assessments.
With a tailored, student-focused approach, I strive to create an environment where learners feel supported and encouraged to push their academic boundaries. My goal is to help students develop confidence, critical thinking, and a mastery of subject content, equipping them with the tools they need for success in both exams and beyond.
