Christina's profile picture

Information About Christina:


Personal Description:

I am an experienced teacher with a First Class Honours degree and a Master`s in Psychology. I am also an examiner for AQA, marking both the old specification and now the new (I marked 7181/2 in 2016 and 7182/2 last summer) and have many years` experience of teaching both at A level and undergraduate level. I tutor in my home office in Alton. I live 10 minutes` walk from Alton College, and 15 minutes` walk from Alton station. Lessons are one hour and cost £35. This includes marking one essay between lessons, with detailed feedback in the following tutorial.

My master`s degree included Advanced Experimental Design and Analysis. I actually enjoy research methods! So I consider this a particular strength in my teaching. I think my enthusiasm for my subject as a whole comes across in my tutorials.



Teaching Experience:

As an experienced examiner with AQA for PSYA2, PSYA3, and now 7181/2 and 7182/2, I can provide valuable insights into the style and content that will bring the highest marks. I have also taught as an Associate Lecturer with the Open University on the level 2 undergraduate Psychology degree programme. I have taught Psychology A level for 19 years and was head of department in my last two posts.



Tutoring Approach:

I am enthusiastic about my subject, finding Psychology endlessly fascinating. I take time to get to know my students and tailor-make lessons according to the individual's needs. I endeavour to make lessons enjoyable while at the same time covering a substantial amount of the course content. I am happy to mark one essay or a few shorter questions between lessons (included in the fee). This helps me to structure the following tutorial to target the student's needs.
