Shona Pearce

I am coming up to my 6th year of employment within the field of Education and Teaching. I have worked 1:1 with many students in both mainstream and special needs secondary schools supporting them during academic lessons. This has included adapting resources and communication styles to ensure the pupil received tailored support according to their needs during learning tasks. These skills I have gained of adaptation and individualisation combined with my understanding of psychological theory have enabled me to effectively support diverse learners and promote positive educational outcomes.

Furthermore, I have collaborated closely with teachers to implement targeted interventions and monitor student progress. This has strengthened my ability to assess needs and set achievable goals. Overall, my experience has equipped me with the practical teaching skills and psychological insight necessary to be an effective and empathetic psychology tutor.

My tutoring sessions will be conducted online platforms allowing flexibility to be conducted to suit your own study timetable. I know how important it is to perfect your exam technique for achieving those higher grades so my sessions will not only focus on breaking down the course content but also how to then convey that information during your exam (You will have 12 markers coming out your ears I am sure, hehe)
I hope you find my sessions fun and engaging reducing your stress while studying all this Psychology!
