About Deborah

Due to current commitments I do not have availability at this present time.
I recently retired from teaching in having worked at my school for 28 years. I introduced psychology to the 6th form curriculum in the mid 1990s and built the department up so that eventually we became the largest 6th form subject and one of the most successful in terms of grade outcomes. I hugely enjoyed teaching psychology and building supportive relationships with the very many students whom I had the privilege of teaching. I frequently ran 1:1 and small group sessions and enjoyed seeing students progress with some extra, focused attention and detailed feedback. I would say I specialised in raising students from a D/C grade to at least a B grade. I have gained immense satisfaction from seeing the aims of my students being realised and was particularly gratified with the number of my A level students who were successful in applying to study psychology at some very prestigious universities including Oxbridge. This was achieved at least in part by ensuring students have solid and meaningful revision strategies, which I always attached huge importance to, and would place great emphasis on in our sessions. Equally, I believe that the key to a student's success often lies in their own level of self-confidence, and I work with students in supporting them to translate what they can verbalise about a topic into a sound, written answer. I currently offer online lessons only. Finally, I would ensure that our sessions were challenging but also relaxed enough so that a student would feel fully engaged in their learning and would really look forward to their next session, knowing they will definitely be making progress towards achieving their aims.

My lessons are aimed at developing a student's strengths, building their skills in tackling exam questions and encouraging confidence in their ability to succeed. I focus particularly on enhancing an understanding of research methods, which accounts for 25% of the overall grade, and also on application questions, where students have to apply their knowledge to a novel scenario. I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a PGCE- I have taught psychology for over 25 years to 6th formers so I am offering tuition for AQA A level students only. At the initial free introductory session, I will be able to assess the student's needs and prepare individualised lessons based on our conversations. There will always be space for questions from a student, which I actively encourage. I aim to be supportive but also will offer challenge to a student to move them further forward in their journey towards exam success.
