Edward
Specialist Areas – Professional Focus
I am a supply teacher and tutor primarily specialised in GCSE & A-Level Psychology, across various exam boards, including AQA and Pearson/Edexcel. I hold a PGCE qualification, alongside a BSC (Hons) in Psychology and MSc in Psychological Research Methods. These provide me with thorough subject expertise and a strong understanding of evidence-based teaching and learning practices.
As a subject specialist in Psychology, I can support students in mastering key concepts in the subject, both in core knowledge and evaluation skills, and develop their examination skillsets. My academic background enables me to provide expert guidance on the areas of Psychology many learners find the most difficult, particularly in research methods, experimental design, statistics, and critical evaluation.
In addition to psychology, I can also offer support in other areas of Social Sciences, having experience teaching Sociology at GCSE, and in Biology and Chemistry and various levels, drawing upon my A Level qualifications in these areas.
