Alice Stern

I have over 15 years’ experience teaching and working with children and adults of all ages in a range of settings. I began my career as a TEFL teacher, working in Japan for nearly two years, where I developed flexible and creative approaches to teaching in order to support students with different learning styles and needs.

As a psychology postgraduate, I have a strong and up-to-date understanding of the content my students are studying, along with a wide range of resources to support their learning. I am enthusiastic about current research and regularly read academic journals and new literature to inform both my teaching and my ongoing professional development. I am confident in teaching and helping students consolidate their learning across all areas of psychology. In relation to research methods, I am particularly well qualified to support qualitative research.

I currently work as a neurodivergent coach with both children and adults, a role that requires a highly personalised and strengths-based approach. This experience strongly informs my tutoring style. I take time to listen carefully to my students’ needs, understand their goals, and tailor sessions accordingly. I often support students in recognising what they already know, identifying their strengths, and addressing challenges, while encouraging a positive growth mindset and building confidence in their learning.
