Empowering minds through Social sciences, unlocking potential one lesson at a time

What factors drive an individual to crime? Which influence is greater environment or genes? Is our society set out in away that benefits some at the cost of others? Does our social class cap what we can achieve? Do we really have free will or are we constrained by internal biological factors along with environmental factors? With a BSc in Psychology in Education and an MSc in Mental health and Wellbeing in education, it is safe to say I have always been passionate about supporting students throughout school. Throughout school I was the social science prefect which entailed tutoring for students in younger years and finding new ways to work with students who needed s bit of support. Throughout University I've continued to tutor and mentor acting as a Course rep, BAME officer, Department rep, Student Ambassador and working directly in schools with young people. I love Psychology and Sociology, my teachers passed on their fire to me and I hope to do the same with the students I work with, there are so many interesting questions to explore and conversations to have. Having had experience tutoring and mentoring students of a wide range of ages and capabilities, I feel I'm able to cater to the needs of each student and am flexible with my methods and am happy to try new techniques. At the end of the day, we are the future generation of policy makers, prime ministers, politicians etc, all the issues discussed in both Psychology and Sociology are so important for young people to understand if we are to make a successful future for ourselves and the generations to follow.
