With over 9 years in the field of psychology and 2 years of dedicated experience teaching A-level psychology, I bring a unique blend of academic excellence and practical clinical insight to my tutoring approach. As an MSc graduate in Clinical Neuropsychiatry from the University of Birmingham and having achieved distinction in my BS Psychology, I offer students more than just textbook knowledge. My comprehensive understanding of both foundational and advanced psychological concepts allows me to break down complex theories into digestible, exam-friendly material.
My hands-on experience as an Assistant Psychologist at UrbanCare Clinic and my internship at Civil Hospital Karachi allows me to enrich theoretical concepts with real-world clinical examples, making complex psychological theories both accessible and memorable. This clinical background proves particularly valuable when teaching topics like abnormal psychology, research methods, and mental health – areas where students often struggle to connect theory with practice.
Having studied A-level Psychology, I understand students' unique challenges and can effectively bridge the gap between A-level curriculum requirements and practical applications. My experience in conducting research, including a first-class dissertation under renowned expert Prof. Andrea Cavanna, enables me to help students develop critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of psychological research methods - crucial skills for both exams and higher education.
My teaching approach combines academic rigour with engaging real-world examples to create an interactive and effective learning experience. Each lesson is carefully structured to include a mix of teaching methods: comprehensive slides for visual learners, detailed notes for reference, targeted textbook work, relevant video content, and most importantly, real-life clinical examples that bring theories to life. I also provide exam technique guidance, practice questions, and personalized feedback to ensure students not only understand the content but can effectively demonstrate their knowledge in exams.
Whether you're struggling with cognitive processes, developmental psychology, or research methodology, my approach focuses on building both confidence and competence. I aim to foster a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged, and complex concepts are broken down into manageable chunks. Regular assessments and progress tracking ensure that we identify and address any areas of difficulty promptly, working together to achieve your academic goals.
