Hi! Thank you for considering tutoring with me :)

My lessons are friendly, supportive and tailored to your goals. As such, I will adapt my materials to your preferred format and/or digital platform, to ensure your learning preferences are heard.

In our first session, we will begin by identifying areas you want to improve and developing a plan detailing how and when we will cover these areas. Sessions will begin with some short questions about topics covered in the previous week to test your memory and understanding, but don't worry - if you don't remember or get the questions wrong, that is okay :) we will just re-cap the topic and try the questions again the following week. The rest of the sessions will consist of working through key concepts using clear explanations, practical examples and guided questions to check your understanding. Sessions can cover psychological theories, research methods, interpreting studies, essay planning, revision techniques, or preparing for university applications such as cv building and personal statement writing.

I use evidence-based learning techniques such as spaced repetition to strengthen learning and memory in not only a fun way, but a way that ensures you are spending the least amount of time behind a desk while seeing real improvements to your learning.

I understand that mistakes are how we learn, so I'm driven to create a supportive and positive learning environment where you can ask me any questions and build confidence in your knowledge and ability without feeling afraid of getting things wrong (we all do, and that's how we learn!) I also understand that we all learn at different paces - I am an incredibly patient, active listener who has been teaching beginner crochet lessons for two years now, so I have seen first-hand the frustrations that can come with learning! We can deal with these frustrations together and get you back on track :)

Thank you for considering tutoring with me and I look forward to teaching you soon!
