An experienced Tutor who enjoys working with people who have a passion for the subject of Psychology at GCSE, A Level and Undergraduate

I have degrees in Psychology (1st) and Contemporary Theatre (2.1) as well as a PgCert in Learning & Teaching in Higher Education (Distinction). In the last 20 years I have taught numerous young people and adults of all abilities, within community and educational settings, to achieve their goals.

I lectured for 5 years in Higher Education (HE) institutions as a part-time Researcher & Associate Lecturer at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and The University of Derby. On the applied theatre unit, I taught and supported undergraduate students in their studies as well as marking Formative and Summative Assessments. I have also taught intermittently in HE over the last 10 years as a: Guest Speaker, Guest Lecturer, Visiting Artist, Keynote Speaker, at universities such as Manchester Met, Staffordshire, and the University of York.

My professional practice as a Drama-Psych Practitioner has centred on the integration of psychology with theatrical techniques. This is used at all stages of my delivery when identifying individual differences between my students, employing the most effective drama exercises, and ethically assessing their true impact. In this role I would utilise my experience in theatre and psychology to conscientiously adapt my delivery through a process of continuous reflective practice.

I enjoy working with inquisitive minds with a strong work ethic to achieve their individual educational goals in the discipline of psychology. Additional tutorage can give someone studying psychology that extra boost needed to develop a passion not only for the subject but for learning as they progress throughout their studies. With a fundamental understanding of the human mind within society, you can unlock the best ways to support others in several possible future professional settings, from therapy to effective management.
