Jacob Rayner

My classes will be tailored to the areas of the subject which you feel you are lacking in. Before our sessions, I will have researched the topic past the general concept at hand in order to broaden your understanding and allowing a higher quality education. Within our classes, I will be able to present a PowerPoint slideshow (via screen share or I will be equipped with my laptop) in order to ensure the class runs smoothly. These PowerPoints will be relatively minimalist, yet containing all main themes for you. These slides are able to be shared with you, thus affording you the ability go look back at what we have spoken about before.

I aim for an informal dynamic between myself and my students as research shows that learning best occurs when we are not experiencing heightened emotional states. Therefore, I will aim to be flexible in my teaching style- allowing for questions on demand. This will aid your learning as you will not have to listen to the concept getting increasingly complex whilst there is a gap in your understanding- aiming for a more thorough understanding of the topic at hand.

My teaching philosophy stresses curiosity and critical thinking. I encourage students to question, analyze, and connect psychological concepts to real-world examples, making learning both practical and engaging. My sessions will be malleable to your own personal desires, molding your knowledge of each area to maximize your results. By integrating research-led insights, I encourage open dialogue, whilst striving to inspire confidence and intellectual growth, helping you excel academically and beyond.

See you in class!
