I will start our lesson by introducing the theory for the day: one concept at a time. After each concept I will ask you to explain a hypothetical or personal experience (depending on how sensitive the given material is) that relates to the concept I just taught and this will give me an idea on how much further clarification is needed. I will also spend time answering any questions as I believe asking questions is one of the best ways to learn. Having you relate an experience to a concept helps consolidate the information in your memory and allows you to more easily draw from it when you need to.

I am good at personalising my teaching and can adapt to your preferred style, as I am very flexible (as well as patient). I will spend more time on theory when I can see you are grasping the concepts quickly and will spend more time on my own examples and your examples when I deem it necessary. We will also be engaging in mental activities, watching videos, and doing readings when I believe it will enhance your understanding. Although powerpoint presentations are a useful form of teaching, I believe that too much of it can become tedious and will therefore use several teaching methods to keep you engaged.

I have a lot of passion for psychology and believe that I can pass on this passion to those I teach. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia, which is a top 15 institution for Psychology (according to Times Higher Education) and have an extensive knowledge in my subject for this reason.
