Information about Sara
I am an enthusiastic teacher of GCSE and A Level Psychology at a secondary school in Stanmore. I am a productive, reliable and organised individual who thrives on success and therefore strives for success of others. I have progressed quickly in my teaching career as a result of being trustworthy and keen to develop. I am current with up to date knowledge of new specifications.
Availability: I am available evenings, weekends and during school holidays too. I work full time in a secondary school.
Willing to travel: 8 miles
Experience: - I studied A Level Psychology in 2010 - 2012
- I completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology BSc at The University of Leicester 2012-2015
- I completed my teacher training (PGCE) at the IOE UCL in 2015-2016
- I began teaching full time in 2015 and was quickly promoted to the Leader of Key Stage 4 Psychology during my first year of teaching
- I completed my Masters of Teaching with the IOE UCL in 2016 part-time alongside teaching full time (the masters was heavily based on Psychological research in the classroom).
- In January 2017 I was promoted to Head of Department for Psychology and am responsible for 75 A Level students and 288 GCSE students. All results have been fantastic where the most recent A Level results were the best results across the sixth form
- I was also successful in completing the Lead Practitioner Accreditation with SSAT, exemplifying my experience in leadership and desire to continuing improving this
- I have examined for AQA in June 2018 and 2019 for Paper 3 A Level Psychology which has given me extensive knowledge and a strong insight into what students need to write for the exams. I was due to examine for the 2020 paper too but due to COVID-19 this did not go ahead, instead I have taken part in CAGs which has been a valuable learning experience for me as a teacher
- I regularly attend courses and read to keep up to date with psychology in the news but also engaging teaching concepts to ensure that students have the best opportunities to achieve their desired grades.
- I have tutored multiple successful students where students have gone from achieving Us/Es to achieving Bs or higher. Also students who have been achieving Bs to go on to achieve an A*. Not all students I have tutored are using TutorHunt meaning that my feedback on here is not necessarily in line with my success.
- My preferred specification for A Level is AQA and GCSE is Edexcel but I am happy to support other exam board teaching too
- I am happy to travel to your home or alternatively due to COVID-19 I have been switching my face-to-face tutoring sessions to online video call which I actually feel has been just as, if not more beneficial for the learners. I am happy to discuss why I believe this is, if you enquire with me.
- Finally, it`s important to know that students may feel disadvantaged due to COVID-19 and lack of one-to-one interaction with their teachers. Each school has offered varying methods of online teaching which may or may not have suited your son/daughter. I could assist in bridging the gap that may have been created as a result of COVID-19, so please do get in touch and we can work something out to ensure that your son/daughter is not set back due to this pandemic.
- I am happy to take on new tutees currently due to increased capacity as a result of losing Year 13s.
