I graduated from St Andrews University with a first class degree in Psychology. I love how Psychology relates to so many aspects of real life and there are always new and exciting research findings. Studying for exams is so tricky without the right guidance so I aim to create a safe space for every student where they feel comfortable to ask any questions and tailor their learning to suit them. I have experience teaching a wide range of exam boards and have supported students not just achieve their desired grade but also to discover a genuine passion for the subject and develop skills that will help well beyond their exams. Outside of my studies, I enjoy playing on an Ultimate Frisbee team and swimming in the sea. As well as sports, I love to being creative, I particularly love to sew and I'm also learning to knit!

My priority for my lessons is to make them fun and engaging. I love finding new ways to incorporate games and challenges while still learning the content. If the student is having fun, they are more likely to stay engaged and lesson will be more memorable - win win! There is even plenty of psychology research nowadays to suggest play and games are one of the most effective tools for successful learning. I like to tailor my lessons depending on the specific needs of each student - whether you prefer visual or written tasks or whether you like to explain concepts verbally, everybody learns in a unique way. As well as interactive activities and games, I like to incorporate realistic exam practice into my lessons to help my students feel super comfortable with exam technique. I aim to provide a friendly but focused environment where no question is a silly question!
