About Thomas
Hello! I'm Tom, a passionate and experienced A-Level Psychology teacher and tutor dedicated to helping students excel in their studies. I have recently tutored and taught multiple students from disappointing C grades in their mocks to achieving an A* in their A level exams. This is a result of a direct and methodical approach to student progress. I pride myself on high quality, tailored guidance for achieving top grades. I have a proven track record of outstanding results, which includes helping students working at lower grades, achieving above and beyond what they believe they are capable of.
A-level Psychology exam questions test understanding and application more than factual recall. For this reason, many students find it a big challenge in exams.
All sessions are accompanied with a summary of the notes, top tips for revision based on the content/skills covered in the session, practice activities to reinforce learning and mastering exam questions.
As a current, fully qualified psychology teacher, examiner and successful tutor, I offer personalised tutoring tailored to each student's unique learning style and academic goals. My experience marking for the exam board gives my students the opportunity to master exam technique and maximise grades. Students often ask me to mark their practice papers and provide detailed feedback. I also have extensive education training for varying learning needs and disabilities including Dyslexia, ADHD and ASD.
I teach psychology exclusively, which has enabled me to master the subject. You will find that my methods are both efficient and effective.
My approach enables me to simplify complex concepts, whilst fostering a range of key skills, and providing practical strategies for exam success. Whether you're struggling with understanding theories, analysing research, or preparing for exams, I'm here to provide the support and expertise you need to thrive.
Master concepts, refine skills and ace exams.
Tutoring Style
A-level Psychology exam questions test understanding and application more than factual recall. For this reason, many students find it a big challenge in exams and I therefore focus my approach on fixing this. All sessions are accompanied with a summary of the notes, top tips for revision based on the content/skills covered in the session, practice activities to reinforce learning and mastering exam questions.
I believe that learning should be engaging, enjoyable, and empowering. Through interactive lessons and targeted practice, I aim to boost confidence and motivation. I find students come away with a much stronger understanding of tricky topics as well as a better ability to score top marks in exams. I have particular expertise and success with research methods, in particular the 'statistical tests' topic and also essay writing and evaluation skills. Please refer to the PMT blog for my recent article on 'Mastering Essays'.
I like to review work, provide feedback and maximise exam marks.
