I'm offering
I have a wealth of experience writing fair and accessible assessment questions, especially for students who have English as their second or third language. My background is in psychology, animal behaviour and statistics. I have written assessment questions for a range of qualifications from Level 2 to Level 6 including academic, vocational, and applied subjects. I have created quality assurance systems for Awarding Bodies that have impressed Ofqual. I have written academic education books for the likes of Oxford University Press and Psychology Press. I also lead Psychology marking for Cambridge International Assessment Education. I can also offer freelance writing services in psychology, health and animal behaviour (previous work includes Dog Monthly).
