Devika Soma

Hi I'm Devika, a postgraduate Health Psychology student with a degree in Psychology. During my degree I have been able to learn to stay motivated, resilient and hard working, especially when managing my final year research project, multiple part time jobs and hobbies. I have learnt how to stay organised, research and essay writing skills during my time at University.

I have a passion for tutoring younger students by helping them grow and become more confident with their academics during stressful exam periods. With 2 years of tutoring experience, I have been able to successfully improve student's exam grades, getting them ready for their GCSE and A Level examinations. My students all enjoy and thrive during my lessons as I tailor and adapt my teaching style to suit each student's needs. Typically, I go through exam questions, walk and talk mocks, brainstorming activities, and different methods of learning new content during my lessons. I also teach students revision techniques as we test different methods during the course of the lesson block that we have together. Homework and tasks can also be set to complete at home, prior to the next session so that they can gain feedback tailored to themselves.

I have also worked with children in summer clubs, mentoring schemes so I have a lot of experience of working with peers younger than myself! I look forward to tutoring new students and I am hoping to inspire students and help them fulfil their potential before completing their summer examinations.
