Psychology for Success

Average Rating2.67
(based on 4 reviews)

I am retired Psychology teacher with extensive experience of AQA, OCR, Edexcel, & CIE exam boards in the past. I am skilled in developing support e.g through writing frames for less able students and extending essay writing skills for the more able. My teaching experience across several boards means that I have an excellent overview of a range of resources and maximising marks through the use of examiner reports & mark schemes.
