"If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it yourself" - Albert Einstein

Over the past 10 years, I have taught at every level from 6-year-olds struggling to their Math homework to postgraduate students completing their thesis, During this time, I have learned that the best way to help students develop their knowledge is to make sure that lessons are engaging, interactive and accessible.

As such, I have worked hard to develop a reputation as someone who can simplify highly complex content and deliver it in a way that is interesting, understandable, and exciting. I always strive to build a rapport with my students, so that I can be responsive and sensitive to their knowledge base, study goals, and learning styles.

I am the teacher who you can feel comfortable asking "stupid questions". I have been told that my classes feel more like a conversation, than a lecture!


I currently lecture in a third-level institution in Dublin and have almost 10 years of teaching experience shared across multiple esteemed colleges and universities in Ireland. During this time, I have delivered modules in almost every subdiscipline of psychology, including social, developmental, cognitive, biological, experimental, educational, and performance psychology, as well as psychometrics, research methods, and data analysis.

In addition, I have extensive experience in applied settings, particularly in education, as I am part of a vibrant and burgeoning research stream that has refuted the century-old idea that intelligence ability cannot be improved via training.

I have also worked in an educational psychology practice, and thus, have hands on experience in the diagnosis and treatment of learning & behavioural difficulties.

Furthermore, I run my own private practice in the area of sport and performance psychology in which I coach individuals to perform at their utmost regardless of their domain of activity.

In short, if you have a challenge, I can help you overcome it. If you have a goal, I can help you achieve it. If you have an interest, I can help cultivate it!
