Caitlin O'brien

Hello! I’m Caitlin, a Psychology Tutor with a First-Class Honours degree in Psychology and practical experience supporting learners through roles in family support, mental health services, and mentoring. I’m passionate about helping students not only improve their grades but also gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of how psychology shapes everyday life.

My lessons are structured, engaging, and completely tailored to your individual learning needs. At the start of each session, we’ll identify your goals and any areas you’d like extra help with. From there, I’ll guide you through key psychological theories, research studies, and exam techniques using clear explanations and real-world examples that bring concepts to life.

A typical lesson includes concept breakdowns, interactive discussions, and active recall exercises to strengthen understanding and memory. I also provide essay planning guidance, practice questions, and personalised feedback to help you develop confidence in your analytical and evaluation skills. Whether you’re preparing for exams, improving coursework, or seeking clarity on specific topics, I’ll adapt my approach to match your pace and learning style.

I believe that learning is most effective in a supportive, encouraging environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring ideas. My goal is to help you feel confident, curious, and motivated — equipping you with the knowledge and skills to achieve your full potential in psychology.
