PSYCHOLOGY LESSONS

ONLINE PSYCHOLOGY TUTORING

With over 30 years of teaching experience, I have helped countless students achieve top grades and secure places at prestigious universities, including Oxbridge and UCL. My approach goes beyond standard tutoring—I offer a bespoke learning experience designed to equip students with the skills, confidence, and critical thinking needed to excel in psychology.

WHAT MAKES MY TUTORING UNIQUE?

✅ EXPERT-LED TEACHING – I hold a B.A. (Hons) in Psychology from UCL and an MSc in Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience from Goldsmiths, bringing academic excellence and research expertise to my teaching.

✅ PROVEN SUCCESS – My students consistently achieve top grades, with many securing places at leading universities.

✅ PERSONALISED APPROACH – Every student is unique. I tailor lessons to match individual strengths, challenges, and goals—whether it’s exam preparation, essay writing, or mastering complex psychological theories.

✅ BEYOND MEMORISATION – CRITICAL THINKING & APPLICATION – Psychology isn’t just about learning facts and developing scientific thinking, research analysis, and structured argumentation. I teach students how to apply their knowledge effectively in exams and beyond.

✅ MASTERING EXAM TECHNIQUE – I ensure students fully understand assessment objectives, essay structure, and evaluation techniques. My tutoring includes detailed feedback, essay marking, and model answers to help students refine their skills.

✅ EXCLUSIVE LEARNING RESOURCES – All students receive access to bespoke materials, including:

  • Exemplar essays

  • Comprehensive revision notes

  • Psychology articles

  • Research analysis guides

✅ ENGAGING & INTERACTIVE LESSONS – I use various teaching methods to make online learning dynamic and stimulating, ensuring students remain motivated and engaged.

I am a Londoner with over 30 years of experience teaching psychology at A-Level, IB, and undergraduate levels. Throughout my career, I’ve taught in more than 40 establishments across the UK and internationally, including Spain, Lithuania, and Cyprus. My teaching has been consistently recognised for its high success rates, and I’ve also worked as a consultant in education, supporting institutions in delivering exceptional psychology programmes.

I’ve written various psychology materials and articles, focusing on making complex concepts accessible to students and educators. In addition to teaching, I’ve published peer-reviewed research in the field of eating disorders.

My career began after earning a degree in Psychology and a master’s in Cognitive Neuroscience. Over the years, I’ve combined my academic foundation with hands-on teaching and leadership roles, including serving as Head of Social Sciences.

Outside of my professional life, I have two children and enjoy a variety of interests, including skiing, hiking, playing backgammon, and podcasting. These pursuits keep me curious, active, and grounded—qualities I bring into my teaching and consultancy work. My personal and professional goals include inspiring curiosity about human behaviour, supporting educators, and helping students achieve their full potential.
