Clara Ries

I am a very flexible tutor and aim to target the lesson to what my students need. My strongest skill is communicating excitement about a topic and breaking complex aspects down to a level where they make sense and you can understand not only what you are learning but also why. With heaps of experience working and studying in various areas of psychology, I can bring more context into what you are learning, when it will be relevant in a psychological area, and how it relates to other things you might have already learned.

I like to teach in a way where we learn together and aim to create a joint understanding, rather than just telling you the answer to a question or lecturing you about new content. Beyond my tutoring job at my university for two years, I worked as a private tutor for statistics and research methods and helped with writing-up coursework rather than teaching specific content. This extends my teaching skills and has taught me how to communicate content as well as applied skills. I have also tutored a secondary school student and volunteered in a primary school reading support project, providing me with tutoring skills for all ages.

So if you have any questions, are struggling to see sense in your homework, or just want some additional motivation and find what fascinates you the most in psychology, please do get in touch.

I'm happy to answer any pre-lesson questions you might have and am happy to offer a commitment-free first session.
