About Deborah
Due to current commitments I do not have availability at this present time.
I recently retired from teaching in having worked at my school for 28 years. I introduced psychology to the 6th form curriculum in the mid 1990s and built the department up so that eventually we became the largest 6th form subject and one of the most successful in terms of grade outcomes. I hugely enjoyed teaching psychology and building supportive relationships with the very many students whom I had the privilege of teaching. I frequently ran 1:1 and small group sessions and enjoyed seeing students progress with some extra, focused attention and detailed feedback. I would say I specialised in raising students from a D/C grade to at least a B grade. I have gained immense satisfaction from seeing the aims of my students being realised and was particularly gratified with the number of my A level students who were successful in applying to study psychology at some very prestigious universities including Oxbridge. This was achieved at least in part by ensuring students have solid and meaningful revision strategies, which I always attached huge importance to, and would place great emphasis on in our sessions. Equally, I believe that the key to a student's success often lies in their own level of self-confidence, and I work with students in supporting them to translate what they can verbalise about a topic into a sound, written answer. I currently offer online lessons only. Finally, I would ensure that our sessions were challenging but also relaxed enough so that a student would feel fully engaged in their learning and would really look forward to their next session, knowing they will definitely be making progress towards achieving their aims.

My lessons are aimed at developing a student's strengths, building their skills in tackling exam questions and encouraging confidence in their ability to succeed. I focus particularly on enhancing an understanding of research methods, which accounts for 25% of the overall grade, and also on application questions, where students have to apply their knowledge to a novel scenario. I have a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a PGCE- I have taught psychology for over 25 years to 6th formers so I am offering tuition for AQA A level students only. At the initial free introductory session, I will be able to assess the student's needs and prepare individualised lessons based on our conversations. There will always be space for questions from a student, which I actively encourage. I aim to be supportive but also will offer challenge to a student to move them further forward in their journey towards exam success.

Deborah has been incredible over the last year in tutoring my daughter in A level Psychology. She is an absolute expert in her subject and has been instrumental to the improvement I have seen in my daughter's knowledge, understanding and confidence in this subject. As a very experienced teacher and examiner she has a very user friendly approach to her teaching and my daughter has taken so much away from her sessions and has also enjoyed them all! I would not hesitate to recommend Deborah. My daughter is in the strongest position possible for her A level Psychology exams thanks to Deborah.
Deborah is an outstanding psychology tutor who consistently goes above and beyond to support her students. Her deep understanding of the subject, combined with her ability to explain complex topics in a clear and approachable way, makes her an invaluable resource. Not only is she highly responsive to each student's individual learning style, but she also brings a warmth and kindness that make sessions enjoyable and comfortable. Deborah’s dedication to her students’ success is evident in every interaction. She’s patient, professional, and genuinely cares about helping her students achieve their academic goals. Anyone seeking a talented and supportive psychology tutor would be lucky to work with her. My son has been under her tutelage for 2 years and we have seen a huge improvement in his grades. Highly recommend.
Deborah is an utter gem. Without her, my daughter’s psychology A level would have been very iffy. My daughter lacked confidence, she found the content a little overwhelming and had grown to dislike the subject. Deborah is very precise, calm and hugely encouraging and we can now see a good grade in the A level within our grasp. I would recommend her hugely and thank goodness we found her.
Deborah is an excellent, dedicated educator. I studied A-level Psychology with Deborah as my teacher and was fortunate enough to gain an A grade which enabled me to progress to studying Medicine at university. What really sets Deborah apart is that she takes the time to read and understand the course material to the depth necessary to explain it at an advanced level, and enable students to maximise their potential in the exam. Working through the assessment objectives, she was able to focus on my weaker areas and develop my answer style so that I could tackle the question with more clarity and a deeper understanding. I would recommend Deborah's tuition to anyone undertaking the AQA syllabus in Psychology - you will quickly find your confidence considerably improve along with your ability to produce high-scoring exam answers.
Deborah was my A-Level Psychology teacher and was a very clear and patient teacher. She always went through course material thoroughly and I achieved an A* grade. Her subject knowledge was superb and we looked at lots of past exam papers in class so I felt confident during exams. You will really make progress if you chose her as your tutor.
I had the privilege of being taught A-Level Psychology by Deborah, and truly appreciated her expertise and dedication towards psychology and teaching as a whole. It was clear throughout that my teacher was very passionate about the subject, which helped to build my confidence in the various course topics as well as the essay skills required to communicate and discuss the material. Deborah took time to understand both my strengths and weaknesses in the subject to help tailor my learning experience in a supportive manner. Her teaching approach included many valuable resources such as relevant practice questions and providing helpful feedback on my mock essays from previous exams, which I found particularly useful. I would highly recommend Deborah as a tutor for anyone looking to excel in A-Level Psychology. Her commitment and guidance throughout my learning development is what prepared me for success going into my exams, and enabled me to achieve a high final grade in the subject.
Having worked as a teaching colleague with Deborah for many years, I feel thoroughly able to recommend her as a psychology tutor. She is a most conscientious teacher with the ability to bring out the best in her students and has inspired many to achieve excellent grades through quietly and calmly boosting confidence and by carefully guiding them through their learning and revision.
We are very lucky to have found Deborah to help my daughter with her Criminology and Psychology A-levels. Deborah is an excellent tutor for many reasons: she is an expert in her subjects; she delivers engaging lessons; she is kind, patient, completely dedicated, and always goes above and beyond. She has given my daughter some much-needed confidence and for that, I cannot thank her enough.
