My lessons are designed to be clear and engaging. I tailor them to each student’s individual needs. Using my strong academic background in Psychology, I draw on both my previous studies and personal learning experiences to help students to understand material in a way that feels accessible and manageable for them.

I believe that with tutoring, students can succeed when concepts are explained in such a way that makes sense to them. I start my lessons by identifying the student’s goals and current understanding, taking into consideration their preferred learning style. Following this, I adjust the pace and structure of each session, from breaking down theories and looking at key studies, to practising essay writing structures and exam preparation.

I use a combination of discussion, visual aids, and guided note-taking methods in order to make topics more memorable. The students are able to ask questions freely and explore different ideas without pressure or judgement. Therefore, I aim to build a supportive and relaxed environment to allow for their confidence to grow naturally over time.

As I have recently completed both undergraduate and postgraduate Psychology degrees, I understand the academic expectations at different levels. Thus, I can help students to develop stronger studying habits, revision strategies, and refined writing skills. My ultimate goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also find learning the subject more enjoyable so that they can reach their true potential.
