About Me

Hello! I’m Amy, a recent graduate from Oxford University with a 1st in BA Experimental Psychology. I achieved 3 A*s at A-Level (Psychology, Biology, Religious Studies), full marks and an A* in my EPQ, and 7 level 9’s at GCSE (including maths and biology). At the moment, I’m working as a Research Assistant at the University of Kent, studying children’s conversational ability. In my free time, I sing in a choir, spoil my cat and attempt to crochet (badly).

I’ve always loved learning and exploring exciting new ideas, and this passion has helped push me to where I am today. As such, I’m eager to help support students through tutoring in the way that my teachers supported me!
—–>I’m particularly interested in Psychology, Biology, English and Religious Studies, and offer tutoring in these subjects from KS3 to A-Level (+ University level for Psychology).
—–>I can also offer guidance on personal statement writing, and the Oxbridge interviews process; I know from experience how daunting the university application process can be, especially coming from a state school background, and am eager to help make it a little less painful.
—–>Finally, I offer tutoring in preparation for the 11+. I also received some tutoring when preparing for the 11+, and was able to gain entry to the top grammar school in my region. I also regularly chat with 10-11 year olds as part of my job, so have lots of experience talking with this age group.

My teaching style

I think its key to truly get to grips with a topic through active learning, to make you properly understand it rather than just rote learning from a textbook or revision guide (which can often be tempting). I always find I remember a topic better when it comes to revision if it all makes sense in my head. This means starting from what you know then gradually expanding upon this- most importantly, asking questions to identify any gaps in your understanding, then working to fill these. It can be really satisfying when a difficult topic finally ‘clicks’ and makes sense! I hope I can help you with this learning process, so that you feel confident in your understanding of any given topic 🙂
