Shiyu Chen

As a behavioural-science graduate and native Chinese speaker, I offer online psychology and language lessons designed specifically for adult learners. My teaching approach combines academic rigour with clear, practical explanation, making complex ideas accessible and relevant.

In psychology lessons, I help students break down theories, research findings, and cognitive processes into structured, easy-to-understand components. Whether you’re exploring cognitive biases, preparing for exams, or developing academic writing skills, I tailor each session to your goals and learning style. I draw on my background in behavioural science to connect abstract concepts with real-world applications, encouraging critical thinking and deeper understanding.

For Chinese language learners, my lessons focus on building confidence through natural conversation, clear explanations, and purposeful practice. I adapt each session to your level, from foundational pronunciation and grammar to advanced vocabulary for professional or academic contexts. Lessons include a mix of structured materials, real-life examples, and personalised exercises to support steady progress in fluency and communication.

Across all subjects, my teaching style is patient, supportive, and learner-centred. I aim to create a space where adults feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and developing skills at their own pace.

You can also work with me if you’re interested in exploring your own abilities or personality. I am currently training as an RQTU-registered psychometric practitioner, endorsed by the British Psychological Society, which allows me to integrate evidence-based tools into learning. Exploring your personality and abilities can also support clearer career decisions and personal development. Students who enjoy reflective, insight-driven lessons are especially welcome to reach out.
