I like to make my tutoring sessions person-centred, based around your learning and communication style for you to get the best out of your experience! My key attributes are that I am patient, a good listener, empathetic, analytical and I also love to learn myself. My aim is to create an open and honest learning environment for you to get the best out of your sessions. I will begin sessions by asking how you learn best and throughout our sessions we can adapt them to what you find most useful. I have an undergraduate and Masters degree in Psychology and I am currently gaining experience as an Assistant Educational Psychologist to apply for a Doctorate in Educational Psychologist which after many years have found to be my passion. I am familiar with many areas of Psychology and my main areas of expertise are: - Educational psychology, including: cognitive development and learning, human development and cognition, special educational needs (SEN), attachment, memory, interventions. Overall psychological, emotional, social and environmental factors influencing educational engagement and academic attainment. - Social psychology, including: social cognition, social identity social perception, group processes the self, attraction, relationships behaviour and attribution, attitudes, persuasion, prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination and individual differences. I can also help with study methods, essay writing, key terms and research methods. As psychology can be heavily theory based to start with, I will help to look for ways to consolidate all the information and try different techniques of learning. I have a years worth of face to face tutoring in GCSE English and GCSE/A Level Psychology. On top of that I have 2 years worth of adhoc tutoring. During my Masters, I have mentored undergraduate Psychology students where I could share knowledge but also help set academic and future goals. I have recently started volunteering as a reading assistant for 5-9 year olds. I am looking forward to tutoring again and sharing my knowledge and passion.
