I offer students the opportunity to direct their course of learning accustomed to how the student learns best. After an initial consultation exploring preferred learning methods, I provide a tailored program combining academic and interest-based learning within the subject area to enable the student motivationally. I am patient, open and excellent at interpersonal skills. Often students find the process more difficult than the content itself. I help to overcome the challenges the learning process can bring by enabling students to support themselves and create a focused yet, manageable learning experience.

In terms of academic content, I begin with the module students find as their least favourite, breaking every step down until the information has been processed. I set small tasks which appear fun yet, learning related, to keep students engaged in the academic side of the content they are learning. I actively use past papers and refer to exam techniques throughout sessions, in order to keep a focus on the academic delivery which is required.

For five years I have been tutoring multiple students in their home face to face for 1-2 hour sessions. I have received excellent positive feedback over the years and I truly enjoy the process of tutoring within the subjects of my special interest. Additionally since leaving universities, I have maintained a professional career in psychology.
