As a psychology tutor, my goal is to make learning both effective and enjoyable, going beyond exam preparation to foster genuine interest and confidence in the subject. I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Forensic Psychology. My experience includes developing course content for a BSc Psychology programme, publishing psychological research, and working with complex clients in therapeutic settings, giving me both academic and practical insight to bring into our sessions.

My lessons are structured yet flexible. We begin by reviewing previous material to strengthen understanding and clarify any confusion. Lessons then build on core principles and progress to more complex topics using a range of activities such as case studies, multimedia content, critical reflection, exam-style quizzes, and practical research methods.

I use a person-centred teaching approach, adapting each session to your strengths, learning style, and areas for growth. Whether you're a visual, verbal, or hands-on learner, I’ll tailor content so it’s engaging, accessible, and resonates with you.

In addition to academic support, I also offer practical guidance on how to study psychology effectively. This includes note-taking strategies, study planning, and recommending useful tools and resources. I signpost accessible, relevant content to support independent learning between sessions.

I’m a compassionate tutor who’s committed to continuous learning and passionate about helping others reach their full potential. Whether you're aiming to boost grades, build confidence, or develop a deeper understanding of psychology, I’m here to support and guide you every step of the way.
