Ed

I'm a passionate and experienced researcher with a strong academic background, holding a First Class BA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Warwick and an MSc in Psychology with Merit from the University of East London. My academic journey has been marked by excellence, with top grades in history, economics, and psychology. Beyond academic achievements, I bring a unique blend of research, writing, and educational support experience that allows me to connect with students and make complex subjects engaging and accessible.

Tutoring Experience

My educational support experience spans multiple settings. As a Learning Support Assistant at Cheam High School, I developed crucial skills in one-on-one student support, working closely with students with diverse learning needs. I've run supervised learning sessions, demonstrating an ability to break down complex concepts and provide tailored educational support.
My professional background as a freelance journalist for prestigious publications like the BBC, The Guardian, and The Financial Times has honed my ability to research deeply, analyze complex information, and communicate ideas clearly – skills that directly translate to effective tutoring. My research work with the Challenging Experiences Project and Rebel Wisdom has further developed my analytical and explanatory capabilities.
With a strong foundation in statistical techniques, research methodologies, and in-depth subject knowledge, I bring more than just academic credentials to tutoring. I offer a comprehensive approach that goes beyond textbook learning.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is personalised and supportive. Drawing from my experience working with students with diverse learning needs, I understand that each student has a unique learning style and set of challenges. I focus on:

Breaking down complex psychological and economic concepts into digestible, understandable segments
Developing critical thinking and analytical skills
Providing exam technique guidance and strategic study methods
Creating a supportive, encouraging learning environment
Using real-world examples and current research to make subjects come alive
Tailoring explanations to individual learning styles and needs

Whether preparing for GCSE or A-Level exams, my goal is to not just help students pass, but to foster a genuine understanding and enthusiasm for psychology and economics.
