Online Psychology Tutor Karen

Mrs Philpott is a friendly and approachable teacher, with a passion for Psychology. Her lessons included both the facts we needed to know for the exams, and fascinating extras to encourage further reading and a wider investigation into the subject, beyond the A Level course. With a teaching style that worked exceptionally well for me, and also many of my peers, I would describe Mrs Philpott as the best teacher I have ever had. Her outstanding knowledge into exam technique goes beyond what the textbook has to offer, and her motivating approach to teaching is likely to inspire anyone lucky enough to be her student. She is the reason that I am now on my way to read Psychology at Cambridge University and I most definitely could not have done it without her. LH

Karen has been really great at helping me improve my exam technique by going through past papers and explaining things really clearly. It's very helpful that she is an examiner as she gives great insight on how things are marked and how to get top marks. She also has a very extensive knowledge on the course and lots of resources, which has helped me to feel more confident on my knowledge. She has really helped me prepare for my exams and I feel much more confident now after our sessions. Josie

Karen has been an extremely helpful and supportive tutor during my resits. She is very organised and I personally found her teaching methods benefited my requirements, as she is thorough and precise but happy to adapt to any other needs. I would recommend Karen as a tutor because what makes her stand out is that she has teaching experience online, in a classroom, and most importantly, has marked exams herself. This was particularly perfect for me as I struggled with exam technique and how to write what the examiner is looking for, so of course she knew exactly how to explain this. Thank you Karen for everything! Lauren

Elisaveta - The lesson was absolutely helpful and very well explained! I am very happy with Karen, because she can see which topics I am struggling with, she shows me that I need help with them and then she breaks them down into an easy, 'digestible' explanation. She is also extremely kind and friendly! It's insane such good Psychology tutor exists!

Karen has been tutoring me for the past academic year and has helped me massively with psychology. Her sessions were extremely helpful and detailed making me more confident with the subject. She always made sure I understood a topic properly and helped me fix problems I was facing. Thanks for all the help Karen. Arjun 05/22

Karen is a brilliant teacher. Her power points are excellent and the fact you have a recording afterwards to download is brilliant. She has been amazing! Matilda

I have home-schooled myself in A level psychology and was really struggling to tackle exam technique/research methods and had no clue how I was doing in my work towards my exams. Karen helped me an incredible amount in all of these areas and helped to build my confidence. She is very clear and knowledgeable in all areas of the subject and has amazing advice for exam technique. In the end I achieved an A* which I definitely could not have done alone. Thank you!

Outstanding teaching… Karen was able to give me a much more detailed understanding of the syllabus and would provide extra resources to consolidate my learning. My predicted grade has increased from a D without Karen’s help to a B in such a small space of time and I can’t thank her enough for all of her help – Would highly recommend! Liam

I have been working with Karen for my A Level since deciding to retake and can honestly say its been such a pleasure to learn from someone so knowledgeable. She genuinely cares about her pupils and how well they do and can break down anything I once considered confusing in such a simple and understandable way. I am so glad to have met somebody so genuine and helpful in my journey and expect nothing but the best grades from anybody mentored by her. Shabana

"I highly recommend her straightforward approach with an excellent way of explaining things. She provided useful examination tips and improved my writing style to help me achieve a top grade." HD

"Mrs Philpott works hard to give students the confidence to have self belief and motivation in their ability. She expertly manoeuvres through the course with an in-depth knowledge from extensive research about the exam, but also a great deal of sensitivity to individual learning techniques. Her love of the subject is made clear through her teaching and she is always willing to be challenged and to go further than is necessary to explore a particular topic of interest, which will make essay responses stand out from the rest. Without fail her students have achieved highly, and her teaching, belief in my ability and support helped me to achieve an A* at A Level psychology" AJ

''Mrs Philpott’s enthusiasm for teaching is what sets her apart from others; you want to learn and try harder because she has such genuine interest and pride in your work. Her teaching has inspired me to explore the subject at degree level and I could not be more excited. Without her passion and understanding of how different students learn in different ways I do not think my experience would have been as fulfilling and enjoyable!''   HJ

Karen has really helped me with understanding all the content for my exams as well as massively improving my exam technique. I have enjoyed the sessions and she has made me feel much more confident in my own ability. 10/06/19 Jago

"I would say that Mrs Philpott is a rare breed of teacher, her subject knowledge is extensive and detailed, but she is truly dedicated to helping each student get the best results for them, putting in multiple extra hours to teach us in small groups or one to one on topics we found harder than others."

An amazing tutor. Helped with all the problems I had. All the necessary information I needed was put in an easy to understand way. All the complicated things were made easy with the help of Karen. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor of IB Psychology. Piotr
