Look out for the blue/turquoise image of the sailing ship! I work exclusively online offering Monday to Friday daytime and evening sessions throughout the year. I no longer subscribe to this platform so cannot respond directly to messages.
I am a highly experienced teacher of psychology and sociology with excellent track record on engagement, confidence-building and results; past examiner for AQA psychology. Very experienced with AQA psychology and AQA sociology, I have also taught/tutored Edexcel & IB psychology (standard and higher level), OCR & WJEC sociology. Excellent resources to support students with tricky topics, help develop skills and allow stretch & challenge to meet the top mark bands. Follow me online on Facebook and Instagram as The Learning Navigator to access free psychology resources including my special topic summary sheets called octals.
If you are struggling with the research methods components of the courses, I can demystify, explain these and build your confidence with mathematical skills/statistical testing. Not sure how to structure examination answers for the longer questions? I can help with that too. Extensive experience means I can deliver comprehensive examination skills and guidance along with detailed subject content.
I have a Masters degree in teaching and learning and enjoy working with students to develop effective learning strategies and build confidence. Study skills development is a speciality - work smarter, build confidence, achieve better!
I am tutoring full-time after many years working in schools and quickly became fully booked, with many personal recommendations. I do accept new clients and conduct a free assessment to ensure there is a good fit and I feel I can help the specific student achieve their goals. I put a lot of work and preparation into sessions to tailor them specifically to my students' needs and have achieved excellent results including an A grade in sociology for a student who missed the whole of Year 12 at school and a C grade for a student for scored a U in their mocks just a couple of months before the exams! I cannot guarantee getting a student a particular grade and it is important to be realistic about your expectations before starting tutoring. One to one tutoring is very effective but is not a replacement for hard work and the many other factors that affect the outcome. Please enquire via Learning Navigator on Facebook or Instagram for more details and to book your free initial assessment.
Terms and conditions
I pride myself on building up a good working relationship with my clients. Since tutoring is normally for a period of some months as examinations approach and in the interests of fair play for both parties, I've set out some key points regarding charges and cancellations during the tutoring period.
Charges
A-Level sessions are delivered online weekly via Teams in one-hour blocks. Charges reflect my qualifications, experience and the way my sessions are tailored to each individual student’s needs, making them highly effective at boosting learning, confidence and grades. Knowing all the misconceptions and pitfalls on content and structuring examination questions makes all the difference and it is vital that tutoring is effective for the student.
I am happy to offer each new client one free initial assessment and discussion session to assess the needs and type of help required plus it gives you a chance to see how I work and fit in with your requirements. There is no obligation on either side to continue after this first session.
Cancellations Policy
Once a regular slot has been booked for the student, the same time every week, I will endeavour always to be available to tutor them. There is scope for discussion if a session needs to be rearranged (24 hours requested), subject to my availability.
From time to time, flexibility on both sides is required due to life events and unexpected occurrences. This may involve cancellation of a particular session or the need to reschedule and I will always try to accommodate if I can do so.

Additionally, I recently authored my first book, "One Light and the Angelic World," which has further enhanced my knowledge and passion for sharing knowledge with others. Furthermore, my association with Brahma Kumaris, a world spiritual organization, for the last seven years has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the holistic approach to education. I strongly believe in the importance of nurturing not only academic growth but also the emotional and spiritual well-being of students. I strive to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that encourages personal growth and inspires a love for learning.

I am a qualified teacher with 12 years of classroom experience and over 15 years of tutoring, supporting learners from primary age through to GCSE level. I specialise in English, Science, and 11+ exam preparation, and I adapt my approach to suit each student’s unique learning style and goals.
Alongside subject tuition, I have extensive experience working with children and young people with SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) needs and SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities). I understand the importance of building trust, confidence, and self-belief as much as academic skills.
My sessions are structured, supportive, and tailored to help every learner feel valued and capable. Whether your child needs help catching up, preparing for exams, or boosting their confidence, I am committed to providing patient, encouraging, and effective tuition.
Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to discuss how I can help your child reach their full potential.

Psychology teacher in Stone, UK.
I am an extremely experienced teacher/tutor and examiner of A level Psychology and Sociology. I have experience of tutoring for AQA, OCR, Edexcel and Cambridge International for Psychology and AQA for Sociology.
Although I have no reviews on this platform, you can see my 5 star reviews on tutorful.
In my years of teaching and tutoring at A level, I have built up a wealth of resources that are used and shared with my tutees in helping them consistently achieve A* and A grades.
My approach to tutoring is to be flexible and approachable so that students feel free to ask any questions that they wish.
My examining experience is second to none, having been Chief Examiner for A level Psychology and senior positions for A level Sociology. I am currently a senior examiner for A level Psychology.
My tutoring is always totally exam focused, aided by my examining experience which gives me invaluable insight into how the exams are marked and what the exam boards are looking for.
My knowledge of Psychology and Sociology is very strong as I have published textbooks related to the A level Psychology specifications.

I use my comprehensive understanding of mark schemes and criteria to show clients where and how they meet Assessment Objectives (AO skills) and where they fall short. Clients are provided with a variety of resources that can be used beyond tutoring sessions to develop their skills. I also draw on my 8 years experience as a 'real-life' sociologist in helping students understand complex sociological issues and concepts.

I have been teaching for 13 years, working with a variety of students with different needs. I worked in London, before moving to Nottingham in July 2011. I am currently Head of Social Science and am teaching Psychology AQA and Sociology AQA, both at A level. I have met and trained with cheif examiners, so am confident in helping students to prepare for exams in these subjects. I am also currently an examiner for AQA A Level psychology and have 11 years of experience of marking exam papers which helps me teach students how to answer exam style questions in most precise way.
I have a fresh approach to teaching, making sure my students understand the topic they are studying rather than just memorising the details. Psychology is the study of the real world, and as such, students should be able to link theory to the wider world.
I have conducted online tuition for students who have not been living in the same city as me, but had wanted my expertise and support in learning psychology and sociology. I am a confident user of IT and can utilise online tools to help support students during online tuition sessions.

I'm currently working as the Head of Humanities at The Bourne Academy and have been teaching Edexcel and WJEC History for over 10 years locally. I've also worked as an exam associate for Edexcel for 6 years marking summer exams. I feel that I understand the specifications for Medicine, Germany, Cold War and Elizabeth extremely well and would feel comfortable adapting my knowledge to meet the requirements for other exam board specifications. I've also been instructing on AQA Alevel Cold War and the British Empire for over 5 years and have also served as an examiner.
If a longer term tutoring relationship is established, students will get access to a bespoke Google Classroom with lessons and resources designed to promote maximum success and independence.
My passion for History drives much of who I am and consider myself a good communicator, highly motivational and proficient with one to one intervention. When I'm not teaching I love to run outdoors on hills, travel and spend time with my chocolate labrador.
