I have helped a lot of university students to understand psychology and the statistics used in it, as well as tutored for GCSE Psychology. I also have experience with programming and tutoring university students struggling with Python and MATLAB. I like combining my psychology and coding knowledge to help psychology students trying to learn code and computer science students interested in psychology.
I like using a lot of examples (most of them are taken from my own research), when presenting how psychology research methods and code are used within psychology. I have spent a lot of time teaching international university students, which means I often focus on vocabulary. This may seem boring but if you don't use the right words all the effort spent on understanding will be for nothing. That being said, I don't have a pre-set format as it all depends on the student, but I generally follow a simple structure tailored to whoever it is I'm teaching. Younger students usually benefit from a set lesson plan involving presenting and assessing their understanding on the spot, with some more official assessments sprinkled in. Regarding mature students I believe they can guide me towards what they want to focus on, so lesson plans can be aimed more towards explaining specific content or marking work based on university-level marking criteria.
Despite being keen about details like vocabulary choices and procuring an in-depth understanding of statistical/psychological terms, I'm not very strict and try to maintain a friendly dynamic.
