Information about Karen

I have been a teacher for nearly 30 years. My passion is Psychology; a subject that I have an MSc in. I am currently teaching in Higher Education and Further Education for a few hours each week. Other ways that I fill my time is as a distance learning assessor and doing voluntary work. I really enjoy working with young people to support them to reach their goals. I am looking for a few hours of online tutoring each week preferably for A levels/Level 3 and beyond. However, I am happy to consider GCSE and equivalent as well.

Availability: I have some after-school/ evening availability but these slots are filling fast! I also have a little weekend availability left and plenty of daytime space on Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays :)

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: As you can see from my bio I have had a long career in teaching. It has also been very varied. My main area of expertise is psychology but throughout the years this has led me to gain knowledge, experience and qualifications in a number of related areas. To organise this for the reader I will split it up into subjects with my experience listed below each heading.

Psychology:
Taught A level at a secondary school; online tutoring at A level and bachelor`s degree level; I have been an external examiner for the AQA and am currently registered as one for Pearson.

Sociology:
Taught at A level; taught as part of the L3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.

Health and Social Care:
I have taught mainly at Level 3 with some Level 2 classes occasionally. I have taught all the mandatory units in this qualification with my specialisms being Psychology, Sociology, Infection Control and Safeguarding.

Education (Early Years):
In addition to teaching this at Level 3 Diploma level I have also assessed apprentices and I am the lead tutor for a Foundation Degree in Education (Early Years pathway). I have taught and assessed every module on the L3 Diploma and helped to write the new modules for the Foundation Degree.

Study Skills:
As part of my role in various jobs I have taught study skills such as academic writing; conducting research; presentation; referencing and applying for university. I have attended seminars on supporting students who are applying for places on courses in education and nursing. I have helped students to write their personal statements for UCAS and to write a CV.

Short Courses in Health, Social and Child Care:
I assess and moderate several Level 2 distance learning courses including Understanding Autism; Behaviour that Challenges; The Principles of the Mental Health Care Worker and LGBT in the workplace.

DBS Check: Yes

Karen is helping my son who is studying A level Psychology tremendously. He was really deflated with the material from college and Karen is providing explanations, materials and ensure that he understands what they are covering.

Tutors Response :

Many thanks for this feedback, Joanne. Adam is a pleasure to teach and I am happy that he finds the sessions useful.

Karen is an excellent tutor. My daughter who is doing A level Psychology finds Karen’s method of teaching very clear and understandable. She goes that extra mile to make sure that pupil has understood well before the next lesson. My daughter has achieved excellent results for her 1st report at school after learning from Karen and she really enjoys working with her. I will recommend Karen to anyone who wants to study Psychology.

My daughter`s only had a small number of lessons with Karen in the build up to her Psychology A Level exams but the support Karen has given in that short space of time has been extrememly helpful and positive. My daughter had specific elements she needed to work through and Karen was able to tailor the sessions to work through them thoroughly. My daughter was extremely nervous about her exams but Karen`s support helped her approach them much more positively. Karen was also really accomodating with her time and always finished off what they were working on before ending the sessions. Karen`s support in such a short space of time has been really appreciated.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for this feedback, Gary. I am happy to have been helpful.

Karen is a very supportive and friendly tutor who is able to explain concepts in detail. She makes sure that my daughter is able to understand sociological theories well and discusses them verbally, which makes her lessons very engaging.

Karen has been nothing short of phenomenal. She has been helping me with my A level Psychology from content to marking past papers together. Immediately from our lessons I felt at ease and could ask her anything that I wasn`t sure about and she would help me understand effectively. I always found our lessons to be interactive and its been a pleasure to be taught by her. I found timing to be an issue and Karen picked up on areas where I spent too much time and advised me on where that time could be better spent. It`s evident she really cares about her students and I would advise anyone to contact Karen now if you need help with Psychology. Thank you!
