Ryan

I am an experienced educator and psychology specialist with a strong academic background in neuroscience and cognitive psychology. My passion for teaching and mentoring extends to A-Level and university students, where I help learners develop a deeper understanding of complex psychological theories, research methods, and critical analysis skills. Having taught undergraduate students and conducted extensive research at the PhD level, I bring both academic expertise and practical insights to my tutoring sessions. I thrive on helping students build confidence in their knowledge, refine their analytical thinking, and achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have extensive experience in psychology education, having worked as an Associate Lecturer and Research Assistant at Anglia Ruskin University. In these roles, I taught undergraduate students across multiple psychology and sports science modules, guiding them in research design, data analysis, and critical evaluation of psychological concepts. Additionally, my PhD research in neuroscience has provided me with an advanced understanding of cognitive and behavioural psychology, which I integrate into my tutoring. I also have experience working with 4myschools, adapting my teaching to different learning environments and student needs. My academic and professional experience allows me to support students in A-Level Psychology and university-level studies, from essay writing and research projects to exam preparation and dissertation guidance.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is tailored to each student’s learning style and academic goals. I focus on developing critical thinking, analytical skills, and a strong grasp of psychological theories by encouraging students to engage with research, challenge perspectives, and apply knowledge to real-world contexts. I integrate my research background to provide practical insights into experimental design, data interpretation, and academic writing, ensuring that students can confidently tackle coursework and exams. Additionally, my experience in mentorship and coaching has equipped me with the skills to motivate and support students, helping them manage their workload effectively and maximise their potential.
