A bit about Louisa F

I’m passionate about all things psychology, and I currently teach the AQA specification. I have a unique way of explaining complex issues and making synoptic links in ways that students of all abilities are able to use in order to gain maximum marks in assessments. I also provide guidance to students in choosing their universities and completing their UCAS applications, including with personal statement writing. There is not a topic yet in psychology that I have not found fascinating, and there is nothing more amazing for me than to see someone else make those same discoveries as I have in so the years I have been studying, teaching and loving psychology. I find the discussions with my students prompt new ways of looking at things that I have taught before and welcome that discourse at all times. I don’t believe in such a thing as an ‘off topic’ question as long as it is psychology related in some way. Even if it isn’t I’m sure to be able to make those connections! My students have always commented on how relevant I make the topics I am teaching them. I always like to find ways to explain novel and complex theories and phenomena in ways that are applicable to the students and, according to feedback, have always been successful at this. I don’t teach from the text book, and while I always ensure that they understand how to answer exam questions fully, I don’t teach to test, preferring to ensure that students actually understand the subject rather than just being able to answer exam questions. Through this I always have many students choosing to go on to study psychology and related subjects at university.
