Information about Josephine


I am an experienced A level teacher and tutor. I have been tutoring and teaching for eighteen years and have been an A level examiner for fifteen. I have experience teaching/ tutoring all the major Psychology and Sociology specifications. I am a senior examiner for two A level AQA papers and a senior examiner on another exam board. I also have participated in grade reviews and other aspects of the exam process. This experience means I can give students insight into how exam questions are marked and ensure they maximise their exam success.
My experience has also highlighted that for my students to be successful supporting them with study skills and revision techniques in all their studies is the best route to success, so I can also offer students help with this, which will benefit them in all their subjects. Over my career I have helped many students to achieve the grades they need at A level and go on to university.

I cannot praise Josephine enough - she helped get our niece from a C in her mock Sociology A-Level to an A in the actual exam. She explained things really well, was very patient and gave lots of tips for revision & exam techniques. Would highly recommend!

Josephine started turning my daughter recently. She is enjoying it and feeling comfortable and more organised in her studying plans. Josephine is also flexible with tutoring sessions. Thanks

Josephine listened to my daughter, identified where there may be gaps in understanding and learning and tailored sessions to support her. They worked on exam writing, content, revision structure and evaluating. My daughter`s confidence grew in both psychology and sociology . She walked out of all her exams saying she thought they went really well . Shannon really liked and looked forward to the lessons with Josephine which was important when they are doing additional work. I would highly recommend Josephine, communication is really good too. Thank you so much for all the work you did with her it made an immeasurable difference !

Josephine is by far one of the best tutors I have ever had. She goes the extra mile to make sure you understand everything as well as build your confidence in the subject. I`m extremely grateful to have found her as she is extremely passionate and organised in what she does and she feedback she provides. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing that extra push in psychology or sociology

We would highly recommend Josephine. She has been tutoring our son in Sociology. Josephine`s experience has been invaluable in broadening his knowledge and skills within a relatively short period of time and he is now about to sit his A level exam with much greater confidence.

My daughter was hesitant about a tutor and especially working with one online. Josephine and her immediately had a repour online and it works well. My daughter rates her highly as a teacher and gains a lot from the tutoring.

We contacted Josephine after our son`s Lower Sixth year as he needed to improve his Psychology A-Level grade to get into his preferred university. Josephine has been tutoring him since September and has made a HUGE difference. She is very structured in her approach and makes the most of the weekly sessions to ensure he understands the curriculum content but is also improving his exam technique. She sets homework every week and was prepared to mark practice questions in between sessions which was really helpful. The fact that she is a marker for the exam board is particularly useful as she can coach the student to understand the marking systems and therefore maximise their score when approaching any question. Unfortunately due to the current situation regarding the cancellation of A-levels, we are now in the hands of the exam board and teachers. However we have to believe that the system will be fair and are confident that Josephine`s help and support over the last six months will be rewarded in the grade given. Thanks Josephine!

Josephine has been tutoring me for nearly 2 years for A level psychology and sociology . Josephine has helped me in multiple ways. One being improving my exam technique .Compared to other tutors Josephine is able to cater to different needs and she changes her way of teaching to suit the pupil. Over the 2 years not only has she helped me with the course she has also helped me organise my workload. As Josephine has a lot of knowledge about the exam boards she makes sure all the topics are covered and nothing is left. In one year I went from getting a grade E to a B in sociology.

In the short time Josephine has been working with my son, she has proved herself a really excellent tutor. She is extremely reliable and has shown a great deal of patience with my slightly disorganised son. We are very grateful for her support and hope to continue with her until the exams.

Josephine has amazing teaching skills and in depth psychology knowledge, she will definitely get you a few grades higher than expected and managed to help me get an A* in my psychology a level. I would definitely recommend being tutored by her.

Josephine has been tutoring my daughter in A level Psychology since September. She responded very quickly to all messaging, was very flexible and accommodating with changes to sessions. My daughter found her very friendly and easy to get along with. She has been very supportive and encouraging and specifically helped her with essay questions and exam technique.

Josephine was always incredibly helpful and kind. She would mark any essays that I sent to her, helping to point out the specific ways in which I could improve and also where I was doing well. I struggled especially with Research Methods and Josephine was very patient in going through every type of question and explaining it in a simple way which enabled me to understand when I never had before. If there was anything that I was confused about Josephine would happily answer my questions and once again explain so that there was no ambiguity, something that my teachers at school hadn`t necessarily had the ability or time to do. All in all Josephine helped me to move my Psychology A-level grade from a B to an A* so I am very grateful to her.

Josephine was the reason I managed to achieve an A in my Sociology A Level in 8 months. I had not been in education for 2 years and needed Sociology to get onto a specific university course. I had no prior knowledge of the subject but Josephine made me feel instantly at ease. I am still in shock from what I was able to achieve. She is so person-centred and reassuring, could not recommend her enough! Thank you!!

Josephine helped me for several months with my Psychology A Level. I got in touch with her when I started receiving E`s, U`s in tests and thanks to her she helped me achieve a grade B which I couldn`t have done without her. Josephine was friendly, organised and extremely reliable. She provided me with useful resources and always made things easy to understand. I would highly recommend her!

Josephine`s sessions are well-planned and comprehensive. Her experience as a teacher and an examiner means that she knows exactly what`s required to do well in Psychology. She has helped my son with course content and given practical advice with exam technique. She is always on time, very pleasant to deal with and my son finds that she explains things well. His confidence and capability have improved very much since having Josephine as a tutor and he is very pleased with his recent AS result. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent Psychology tutor.

Josephine is an excellant psychology tutor. Knowledgeable, engaging and very good at pinpointing exactly what needs to be covered. My daughter enjoyed her sessions with Josephine and highly recommends her to anyone looking for help with A level psychology.

I studied AS level Sociology and received a U overall. My teachers warned me not to carry on with the subject, however, I was later told I could resit AS whilst doing A2.

In Oct 2015, I began meeting weekly with Josephine. She was completely understanding of my situation and was ready to work with me. After only a few lessons it all began to come together.

Josephine is very patient and always pushed me to go further. Together we managed to go over all of my AS work as well as having time to cover the A2 work I had struggled with in class.

I needed a C in order to get onto my university course and thought I would struggle with achieving this. However, I managed to get an A and a B in my resits and in A2, got a B and a C.

Making my overall grade a B, I had gone up 4 grades :)

I could not have done any of this without the help of Josephine and would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling with the subject.

Would highly recommend Josephine. My daughter is studying A level Psychology at college and was finding it extremely difficult to understand. Josephine is able to pitch the topics at the student`s level of ability so they can understand it better. Josephine is reliable and punctual. My only wish is that we had found Josephine earlier.

Further to my previous feedback about Josephine id never studied A2 or AS level psychology and had to take it up last minute in order to get the grades to enter university this year . Within an intense 5 month programme she designed for me ( Feb 2015- Jun 2015) we covered all A-level and AS topics and I gained an A at AS level and an A at A-level !

She is both v organised , patient and friendly and covers both the exam technique to get A/A* grade essays as well as top grade theory .

I strongly urge any student wanting to improve their grades contact her immediately before she is booked up. 1-1 tuition raised my grade at least 1 to 2 grades above what I would have achieved on self study alone .
