I focus on students' weaknesses in understanding and application. I teach primarily using application, working through 16 mark essays step by step and explaining my reasoning, creating detailed essay plans. I also work through small mark questions making sure students know the specification and mark schemes inside out. I try to fill in gaps of knowledge and encourage my students to use active recall in order to remember key facts and technical terminology. I set my students homework papers to complete before the next lesson and run through them at the start of the next lesson in order to ensure the student is effectively applying their knowledge. I provide a tried and tested formula to write effective psychology essays to gain maximum marks and have extensive resources in order to ensure an A*.

I honestly cannot recommend Maria highly enough, working with her for many months on A-Level Psychology and Business has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire academic journey. From the very first session, I felt a level of support and comfort that I have genuinely never experienced with any other tutor, and that feeling only grew stronger as time went on. What truly sets Maria apart is her incredible, genuine drive to understand exactly how I learn best. She didn’t just teach the material, she took the time to figure out the unique way my brain processes information, and that gave me an overwhelming sense of confidence that I was in the best possible hands. Every single session, before and after every exam, Maria would sit down with me and talk things through, making absolutely sure I felt prepared, calm, and ready to tackle whatever was ahead. She had this incredible ability to address every worry I had before it even became a real problem which is a lifesaver during exam season.
Her teaching was thorough beyond belief, she covered every single topic in real depth, guided me through intensive, focused exam practice, and made sure nothing was left to chance. But what made her truly exceptional wasn’t just her teaching skill; it was her energy. Her warmth, positivity, and genuine care radiated through every session, whether it was first thing in the morning or late in the evening, and I found myself looking forward to every single one.
I started this journey sitting at a low C, feeling discouraged and unsure of myself getting into a good university. Now, thanks to Maria’s support, encouragement, and belief in me, I feel completely confident that I’ve achieved an A* in my final A-levels. She is, without a doubt, one of the most inspiring, dedicated, and genuinely amazing tutors I have ever had the privilege of working with, and I will be forever grateful for everything she has done for me.Maria has been wonderful in teaching my daughter over the last few months. My daughter has improved a lot since she started and her exams are going well. She has helped my daughter gain confidence in Psychology and the way she explains concepts makes it make sense in her head.
Maria is genuinely the best tutor to have, she works through things very carefully and adapts the way she teaches to suit your needs. I was at a D in March and now I’m at an A* all thanks to her. She helped me a lot when it came to exam practice and helping me understand topics I didn’t understand before. I cannot recommend her enough!!
I am really appreciative of Maria, she took me from a 5 to a 9 in my real exam. She helped me understand concepts and helped me develop exam technique and that's what boosted my grades. She helped me develop the confidence and pushed my to achieve top grades.
Maria helped me so much when I was studying for my GCSEs. I ended up getting a 9 in Maths because she was so easy to work with and explained everything so well. She is very passionate and will explain concepts in a straightforward manner. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their subjects.
Maria is absolutely amazing at uplifting other people and finding the best out of their talent. Having managed to achieve so much herself, she still finds time to be encourage others and never gate keeps anything useful, giving all resources to anyone who asks. She is trustworthy and loyal, as well as talented.
Maria is very thorough in her teaching. I went from a 6 in Maths to a 9 in the real exam. She supported me throughout year 11 on a weekly basis and she really helped me understand topics that I didn't understand like vectors.
