Katy Burch
I am currently working as a private tutor for students in both AQA, OCR A Level, IB Psychology & GCSE Psychology. I work with a range of different students with varied skill sets and specific learning needs. My tutoring style helps to build confidence in my pupils subject knowledge and their overall exam technique which has led to me achieving a 100% pass rate with 40% achieving A*-A in 2023.
As well as 1:1 tutoring, I also offer small group tuition and three day intervention classes. During these sessions I work with groups of up to 6 students helping them to improve their grades, these sessions run in the school holidays or weekends.
I have a degree in Psychology and received my teaching degree in Social sciences from the Institute of Education. I have been teaching for over nine years and during this time I have worked in a range of schools including a mixed grammar school and an all girls comprehensive school. I have therefore gained a wide range of experience working with a diverse cohort of students from various different backgrounds. I have gained a lot of success when teaching in Schools, my 2017 results were 80% A*-B at A level, 70% A*-C at GCSE and 100% pass rate at IB. Since then I have achieved between 80-90% pass rates in all areas with my biggest success being 100% pass rate in Sociology and Psychology A level in 2019.
I have worked as an examiner for the past few years for a range of exam boards, this has allowed me to gain much needed experience to help students pass their exams. I am aware of what the examiners are looking for and also where students often lose marks. Having this additional experience has helped in tutoring sessions because it enables me to share this knowledge with my students to ensure they are improving and fully prepared for their exam. Students tend to like the fact that I have experience examining as it creates a sense of trust between tutor and tutee.
