Katrina

Hi, I’m Katrina, the founder and lead tutor at The Education Clinic. I hold a First-Class Honours degree in Psychology from Queen Mary, University of London and a Distinction in my MSc in Psychological Therapies from Bart’s & The London Medical School. With over six years of tutoring experience, I have also worked as a former AQA examiner, a teaching assistant for 5+ years, and an NHS specialist supporting children with SEN and mental health needs.

My journey through education wasn’t easy -I sat the toughest pre-COVID exams in 2019, when the government made GCSEs and A-Levels harder than ever. As someone who faced these challenges while managing ADHD, I know firsthand how overwhelming studying can feel. But I also know that with the right support, strategies, and mindset, every student can succeed - and that’s exactly what I help my students do.
