Experienced Psychology Tutor and Oxbridge PhD Graduate Offering Tailored Support to Improve Academic Outcomes and Wellbeing

Advert description

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the tasks of writing essays, preparing for exams, or completing research projects in psychology? I'm here to help! I am an experienced academic coach providing personalised mentoring and support to psychology students completing AQA A Level qualifications, EPQs, and undergraduate and postgraduate research projects and essays. Over the past five years, I have been working to help students enhance their academic skills and achieve better outcomes. I have a BSc in Psychology from the University of Birmingham, a Masters and PhD in Criminology from the University of Cambridge, and postdoctoral research experience in Social Work from the University of Melbourne. As a result of these experiences I have a detailed understanding of the unique needs and skills required for students studying the social science, particularly psychology, which is itself a key lens through which many of these other social science disciplines are often explored and understood. I have experience working as an undergraduate supervisor, mentor, and outreach officer at the University of Cambridge. The training and qualifications I received during my time in these roles have equipped me with the knowledge and pedagogical tools needed to effectively support and mentor students. During my time working as an academic coach, I have developed a particular interest in supporting students in higher education who face barriers such as mental health conditions and specific learning difficulties. I work with these students to manage challenges like anxiety, stress, concentration issues, and time management. Having myself navigated the education system as dyslexic student, in a school ill prepared to deal with such challenges, I understand the frustration one feels at being underestimated and left behind. As a tutor I feel I am able to relate to students that feel they are not achieving as highly as they could be, and enjoy helping them reach their full potential. The world of academia can be an incredibly lonely and intimidating place, however, I firmly believe that everyone can thrive with the right support and guidance.

She is accommodating, responsive and warm in her approach. I like that Dr Sophie considers different learning styles with dyslexia and ADHD. She helps me to demystify complex information and find a plan that suits my way of learning.

With Dr Sophie’s tutoring I was able to secure an offer from the University of Cambridge! The lessons were incredibly informative and Dr Sophie provided insights into how to best tailor my personal statement. Her advice was detailed and she was extremely informed with the best resources to help guide me along the application process. I have always aspired to study at Cambridge and without Dr Sophie’s tutoring this dream would not have been made possible!
