Personal Description:

I am an experienced private tutor with a specialist interest in the AQA Psychology syllabus.
I am currently studying for a PhD in Psychology at the University of Chichester and work as an Associate Lecturer.
I am passionate about both teaching and Psychology, and my doctoral research involves developing interventions to increase female achievement and pursuit of STEM subjects.
I studied A-Level Psychology and have a First Class BSc (Hons) Psychology undergraduate degree.

Tutoring Experience:

Study Skills for Psychologists
Understanding Relationships
Cognitive Psychology (e.g. memory, intelligence)
Developmental Psychology
Individual Differences (e.g. Psychopathology)

Perspectives on Psychology (A broad overview of many different perspectives in modern Psychology, and a history of Psychology key thinkers that have contributed to our modern understanding)

Cultural Psychology

Tutoring Approach:

I have a very flexible approach to teaching that will always be led by the needs of the particular student.
I can take an unstructured approach where the student can ask me questions about concepts/themes/ideas that they are unsure about, and we can explore these collaboratively in more detail in order to cement understanding.
However, I can also take a more traditional approach of structured lessons with activities guided by a particular syllabus, or varying degrees of the two approaches.

I would discuss this with the tutee (and parents if appropriate) to find the most effective approach for that student.

Sophie's Feedback

From Sarah (5/5): (A-Level Psychology) Sophie’s knowledge and passion for her subject are really inspiring and this contributed significantly to my daughter’s renewed interest and confidence with A Level Psychology. Sophie’s teaching style is patient, friendly and encouraging and tasks were set in a creative way. My daughter particularly enjoyed the work they did on research methods. Also, she appreciated the way Sophie took notes while she taught so that she had both auditory and visual information during the lesson and something to refer to after the lesson.

Reply from Sophie: Thank you for your kind words, Sarah! Your daughter was an absolute delight to teach and inspired me to try different ways of teaching and presenting information. I wish her all the best in her future ventures and am positive she will excel at whatever she decides to do!

From William (5/5): (A-Level Psychology) Sophie is an excellent tutor who really helped my daughter get an A in Psychology. Sophie is extremely able, knowledgeable, professional, and, above all, with all the qualities of an excellent teacher: fun, patient, enthusiastic and kind. I recommend her very highly indeed. (Will Forsyth)

Reply from Sophie: Thank you for your kind words, Will - your daughter was a joy to teach and I wish her all the best at university!

From Lesley (5/5): (A-Level Psychology) Very easy to chat to, and very accommodating with our request .

From Heather (5/5): (A-Level Psychology) Sophie has already made a difference to my daughter's understanding, application and confidence in relation to A2 Psychology. Sophie's calm and organised approach has allowed my daughter to develop a more extensive knowledge base in the subject and helped her to apply her learning to answering exam style questions. She enjoys working with Sophie and leaves the sessions feeling more confident and inspired.
