Information about Shelly

I have taught A level Psychology for over 25 years. I have been the head of psychology departments in a number of large schools. I have also been Head of Sixth Form and I am a qualified careers adviser.
My tutees over the last few years have made great progress in the grades they have been achieving at school.
My particular expertise lies in building the confidence and therefore the grades of those who may struggle with the subject, but also those at the top end who doubt their ability, and again need a confidence boost.

Availability: I now have availabilty for revision sessions over the Christmas and New Year period and to continue with regular slots into next year

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I tutor students taking the AQA Psychology specification and I have been an examiner.
I enjoy tutoring as it`s a pleasure to see a student grow in confidence as they start to understand how to achieve the grades they want. Many of my tutees have improved their grades substantially and this is often achieved by concentrating on their understanding of research methods which is the key to success in Psychology and my favourite thing to teach!
I am a qualified careers adviser and have been a head of sixth form so helped hundreds of students to write personal statements

DBS Check: Yes

Shelly has been the most wonderful tutor for my daughter doing AQA A’level psychology. She knows the subject so well, explains really clearly, ans has given my daughter renewed confidence she had lost. She always goes above and beyond, and her experience as an examiner has been so so so helpful. I could not recommend her more. She is really wonderful.

Shelly has been a fantastic tutor to my daughter. She has helped increase her confidence in psychology and solidify concepts she previously found difficult. Shelly has helped my daughter perfect her exam technique by going through an array of past paper questions and making useful suggestions as to how to approach a question where necessary. My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her sessions with Shelly and is feeling very strong going into her A level exams. Shelly is a great tutor, her lessons are engaging and interactive and my daughter has greatly benefitted from this. I strongly recommend starting sessions with Shelly!

Shelly is a fantastic tutor who has managed to work her magic and improve my son`s grades enormously in just a few weeks. She clearly has a wealth of experience and understands how to get the best from him through clear explanations and targeted practice. She has a wonderful holistic approach, focussing not only on the content of each lesson, but on sustaining improvement through long-term goals and encouraging independent study. She really cares about the support my son receives at school and is excellent at communicating with me so that I`m kept in the loop and can approach his teachers with any concerns. I feel very confident that my son is in good hands and would happily recommend Shelly to anyone looking for a first-rate Psychology tutor.

My child finds her approach supportive and having the weekly sessions has really boosted their marks in the ongoing tests, so that the teachers have increased the grade prediction.

Shelly was an excellent tutor for my daughter who was struggling with Psychology and finding it difficult, especially Research Methods but other modules as well. Kate enjoyed her lessons and her confidence in the subject vastly improved. So much so that she went from a predicted D at beginning of year 13 to achieving a B in her final exam. Shelly was kind, reliable and communications were excellent.

Shelly is amazing! She has successfully helped me move my grades for D and C to getting an A* in my most recent mock and left my final aqa psychology exam with a feeling of confidence. Cannot thank her enough.

Shelly tutored my daughter to help build her confidence in A Level Psychology, as she wasn`t getting the right pointers and encouragement from her tutor at school. Shelly was really efficient and easy to deal with. She worked with my daughter in a way which really enabled her to build her understanding and express her knowledge more fully. The result was an A grade, so we couldn`t have asked for anything more! Thank you so much for your help!

Has really helped and is now much more comfortable answering exam questions. In a few weeks has gone from grade C to grade A in mocks. She is really easy to talk to and explains things really well.

A very experienced tutor who engages well with my daughter. Teaches how to deconstruct exam questions and write essays, giving my daughter confidence with each lesson.

Our experience with Shelly has been incredible. She is tutoring my daughter for A level psychology. Her flexible and responsive approach has suited her perfectly. She has built her confidence enormously. Her in-depth knowledge of the subject and the exam process together with her focus on exam practice as a means of consolidating learning and understanding is ideal. My daughter is throughly enjoying working with her and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Shelly really helped transform my Psychology. She worked one on one with me to ensure that not only I grasped the content but I understood how to apply it in an exam. She always went above and beyond our hour`s session to help me achieve my grades. Shelly`s enthusiasm and care ensured that I got my A grade for Alevel. I could not reccomend her enough.

Would just like to say a big thank you for everything you`ve done for me with my Psychology. A Friendly, supportive tutor, It`s very evident what a great impact you had on my grades from when you started with me when I was struggling, to me now getting an A* in 3/5 of my last assessments including the in person assessment. Would thoroughly recommend Shelly for any Psychology students that wants to develop their knowledge further. Thank you!

Such an amazing tutor, I used to struggle with psychology and she has made me improve so much in a space of 6 months and made me feel much more confident on areas which I found really difficult. I love her teaching style as it’s nicely structured. I would 100% recommend her!

Highly recommend Shelly as a Tutor, great knowledge of the subject and can clearly convey this to the student giving them the ability to perform extremely well in the A Level exam and reach their goal. My son is now going to his first choice University after achieving a B grade in Psychology. Our thanks goes to Shelly for all her hard work and dedication.

Shelly was well prepared for the lessons and has been teaching a long time so is experienced. She even knew about the Welsh board my daughter is sitting for her A Level Psychology and so could tailor the study to help her with that as many of the tutors only have material to teach for AQA and Edexcel.

Shelly was able to help tutor my daughter at short notice in order to prepare for an upcoming exam. Shelly was able to draw on her extensive experience and provide my daughter with helpful information. Shelly also contacted me by email with some very helpful feedback on the session and suggested more appropriate reading material that we have since purchased.

Shelly is a real find. Not only is she a great teacher, she has actually interested my daughter in sociology, which we didn`t think was possible! My daughter`s confidence in the material has grown immensely and in a very short time. If you are looking for an A level sociology tutor, we couldn`t recommend Shelly more.
