Information about Samantha
A Psychology specialist and examiner, I am a qualified secondary teacher, currently Head of Department for A level & BTEC Psychology, BTEC Health & Social Care and BTEC Child Development, with a Psychology degree (BSc Hons Psychology). From September I will also be available to tutor in AQA Sociology & Edexcel EPQ.
I now specialise in teaching KS5 (A-Level), with a wealth of experience across all key stages, in primary, secondary and special needs schools, holding a successful record of helping my students achieve their goals.
My passion for teaching stems from my own experiences at school and realising the varying, complex needs within my students, helping them to unlock and utilise their potential. Combined with the motivation from my students, the ongoing success is down to being patient, my strong ability to recognise and focus on the particular needs of my students and the commitment to help them succeed.
My approach includes:
- Clear, understandable model answers for possible exam questions
- Specialism in working with ASD, dyslexia and SEND students
- Resources and strategies tailored to the student
- Step-by-step coaching, including exam techniques & answering essay questions
- Short, regular checking of knowledge to encourage feedback and transparency for the student on their progression
- Links to real life wherever possible, to enable the student to fully understand the content for overlaps between A Level Psychology and higher education.
Teaching is about making the content engaging, fun and accessible for all, so students can really get to grips with what they are learning. My students favour my relaxed, yet encouraging and supportive teaching style above all, leading to this succession of achievements.

Sam was a fantastic tutor, friendly, helpful and really knew her stuff. My daughter needed help with exam technique mainly and Sam gave her the confidence she needed in an exam situation and she achieved a A grade in her A level. Would not hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone looking for a psychology tutor. Thanks again Sam!!

Samantha was brilliant. Responsive, punctual, polite and knowledgeable.
She tutored my brother during his Psychology A2. Samantha helped him to dramatically improve his A-Level grade and made learning the subject much for interesting for him.
Thanks for all of your dedication,
Chantelle
