Information About Louise

Personal Description: I am a 29 year old Female, with 8 years of university level education in Psychology. I have studied BSc Applied Psychology and Computing, post-graduate Social and Developmental Psychology (Dip Psych) and I also have an MSc in Forensic Psychology. My research for my MSc was awarded with a distinction, and I was awarded the University's Elizabeth Loftus award for outstanding achievement. I am a professional member of the British Psychological Society.

Tutoring Experience: I am a current AS and A Level Psychology and Pre-AS Criminology teacher at Brockwood Park School in Hampshire and have been teaching there for 3 years. I have been responsible for the content of all my classes as Brockwood School uses the Cambridge International Psychology examinations, which give a very bare skeleton outline of key areas. This has required my approach to be both broad and highly focused at times. I have experience teaching AQA and OCR also. I am also a freelance writer for the social sciences and run my own psychological writing consultancy and online tutoring facility.

Tutoring Approach: My main approach to teaching on a whole is to allow the student to set the pace. Pushing students to comprehend beyond their natural levels does not allow for maximisation of learning, nor does teaching below their general comprehension of a subject area. I encourage my students to make revision notes from the word go for each key subject area, allowing a more focused approach in the weeks prior to examinations.

From Janie (5/5): (A-Level Psychology) Louise has given Dais**Contact Detail Removed**ge amount of confidence in the run-up to her psychology AS exam. She had been struggling at college and was close to giving up. So thank you Louise for turning it around for her. Looking forward to seeing her again next term for help with the A level!

Reply from Louise: My pleasure Janie. Daisy was a joy to tutor :)

From Laura (5/5): (University Psychology) I really enjoyed my session with Louise. She put me at ease and was happy to explain in 'real words' the areas I was having troubles with. Lousie has given me some very helpful notes from our session. I am looking forward to next time and be able to make more sense of degree stats!!
