Jo is very well organised and professional and also very good at planning timetables to ensure you revise and learn everything needed in the time you have. I decided to retake my A-level very late (in January 2020 with the exams being in May) but despite this she prepared and planned so I knew everything needed and more before the exams. Jo is very adaptable to every student's needs and revision techniques through adapting her teaching to each student and even to the new exams some students had to go through during the pandemic. I had to do interviews with the teachers at the school and she managed to fully prepare me and help me ace them despite my school being very unhelpful about what would occur in these.
In summary I don't even think five stars will cut it for Jo if i could put 10 I would she is an amazing teacher and an overall kind, generous and supportive person.
Having psychology tutoring with Jo over video through lockdown has been an incredible help and I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her support.

Having psychology tutoring with Jo over video through lockdown has been an incredible help and I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her support. It has given me structure to my learning and has boosted my level of understanding and my psychology grades. Online learning has been no different to regular face to face sessions; we have been able to share screens to look at past papers together and I have still been able to write detailed notes. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending online tutoring with Jo.

I had an amazing experience with Jo in psychology A-level tutoring! She really helped me to not only understand the content well but to also think beyond each topic and make links to reach the higher grades. Jo taught me how to structure my essays and answers in a clear and constructive way, which also optimised my time during an exam. She is very supportive and helped me to stay organised and up to date with all my psychology notes and revision timetables. Every session was engaging and fun and she’s always happy to do everything she can to help. I felt more confident and a lot less stressed in preparation for exams. I would highly recommend Jo, she’s a brilliant teacher.
Being tutored by Jo enormously helped my revision for A-level psychology. We had sessions once a week, where we focused on an area of my choosing.

Being tutored by Jo enormously helped my revision for A-level psychology. We had sessions once a week, where we focused on an area of my choosing. It was always a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere while were learning. Jo’s in depth knowledge about the course meant she could answer any and all questions I had, and we went through different topics in a very clear and helpful way. I have no doubt that Jo’s tutoring helped me to become far more confident in psychology, and it was a pleasure to be tutored by her.
I contacted Jo to ask her to tutor my son for Psychology A Level on the basis of the highly positive reviews others had given her on this website. I have not been disappointed!

Jo is an absolute gem and everything I had hoped to find in a tutor. She is calm, friendly, enthusiastic, very well-organised and extremely knowledgeable about her subject. She is also a brilliant tutor for students with special educational needs. As a result of his ADHD, my son had fallen behind significantly in his work during Year 12. Jo kindly met me before starting to teach him to discuss his needs and to gain a clearer understanding of the challenges he experiences. She also took the time to read his diagnostic report in full. Jo is one of the few teachers my son has had who has really taken on board the level of difficulty and frustration experienced by a bright lad with severe ADHD.
She has clear (and high) expectations but is also very understanding, helping him to find ways to manage his difficulties, in effect acting not only as a tutor, but also as a mentor. My son really enjoys his lessons with Jo; he finds them interesting, engaging and hugely beneficial. Thanks to her, he now feels much more confident of achieving a good A Level grade, which will enable him to study Psychology at university.
We cannot recommend or thank Joanne (Jo) enough. Jo was the tutor for our daughter who was studying for a Psychology A Level in one year, with no school teaching support on the subject. Jo immediately established a great rapport with our daughter and has been excellent throughout the year. She is enthusiastic, organised and reliable.

Jo immediately established a great rapport with our daughter and has been excellent throughout the year. She is enthusiastic, organised and reliable.
Nothing was left to chance with a clear and structured plan at the outset, whereby the course work was covered in good time to allow plenty of time for revision. Jo was professional and supportive throughout the whole process, setting and marking papers promptly, and being easily accessible to clarify certain areas of concern. We wanted the very best tutor for our daughter and, in Jo, we believe that is what we achieved!
I was first recommended Jo by a friend who said she was a ‘miracle worker’. I shortly discovered this to be true after my grade went from a C to an A* on my A level retake.

I was first recommended Jo by a friend who said she was a ‘miracle worker’. I shortly discovered this to be true after my grade went from a C to an A* on my A level retake. She managed to make difficult content seem easy and set me up with essay writing skills which I have taken further to university. She went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible outcome in my exams, spending hours of her time marking my work and giving personal feedback to help me improve. After retaking psychology Jo made me realise how much I enjoy the subject and I went on to study it at university! Even now I ring up her with any queries and she’ll stop whatever she’s doing to make sure I understand. I could not recommend Jo enough to somebody needing help with psychology.
Absolutely amazing tutor. Jo got me from a U in my A2 mock to an A in my final exam and from a C to an A in my AS resit.
Jo was always willing to give me extra help and support outside of the hours we met up, which made a real impact and this enabled me to build confidence throughout the year.

Jo was always willing to give me extra help and support outside of the hours we met up, which made a real impact and this enabled me to build confidence throughout the year.
The feedback I got on essays was always very detailed and clear with what I needed to do and to improve, which made it easier for me to prioritise my revision as preparation for my final exams. The tips she gave me on revision was also a real help as it made me focus on my weaker areas rather than the generic content revision I had previously been doing.
I would highly recommend Jo to anyone as not only was she a great tutor but she is willing to go that extra bit to ensure you have confidence and feel prepared in that final run up to the exam period.
Thank you Jo :)
We definitely struck lucky in finding Jo.
She is a first-rate, throroughly professional and inspirational tutor. Her qualities include patience, enthusiasm, warmth, humour and great listening skills; her methods are clear, concise and highly effective.

We definitely struck lucky in finding Jo.
She is a first-rate, throroughly professional and inspirational tutor. Her qualities include patience, enthusiasm, warmth, humour and great listening skills; her methods are clear, concise and highly effective.
She knows her own subject very well, but more generally she understands the education and examination system and how students can maximise their abilities within that environment - but crucially without sacrificing their enjoyment of the subjects they are studying.
She certainly works very hard. But, above all, she is a truly likeable and personable tutor with a rare ability to inspire her students to discover their own passion and love of learning.
Our son is clearly thriving under Jo's tuition, clearly enjoying his learning more than he has ever done. So many, many thanks!
Jo is everything you could ask for in a tutor. Engaging, pleasant, smart and knows her subject matter inside out with a special focus on exam technique. She`s the full package as she wears many hats...a disciplined teacher but a fun cheerleader able to keep students on track and on task. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I am currently taking my A level in psychology. I had Jo as a tutor last year to help with my AS exams. Growing up with various tutors, I have to say that Jo was the best tutor I have ever had. I got a U in my mock exams last winter and Jo got me to a high C for my real exam within the space of a few months. Jo not only helped me with learning the syllabus, but she also broke down exam questions and taught me how to respond to them. She also taught me a really good revision technique. I would recommend Jo 100 times over.
Thank you so much for tutoring Maddy for her psychology A level retake over this past year. You have made the sessions so enjoyable that she has changed from a strong dislike of the subject to contemplating studying it at university. She always looks forward to her sessions with you and said how much better prepared she was for the exams
Thank you so much for tutoring Maddy for her psychology A level retake over this past year. You have made the sessions so enjoyable that she has changed from a strong dislike of the subject to contemplating studying it at university. She always looks forward to her sessions with you and said how much better prepared she was for the exams and how much deeper her understanding of the subject now is. I can’t thank you enough.
Can't recommend Joanne enough!
Before she started tutoring me I had terrible exam technique but she changed that around drastically giving me confidence when sitting my A-level exams. Was always so patient with me if I didn't understand something and explained it in a way that I could remember it and interpret the information.
Thanks again for all the help you have given me Jo :)
Easy to get on with, Prompt contact. A very good tutor.
