Armita

Hello, I’m Armita; a UK-based, highly qualified and supportive tutor with more than 10 years of private teaching, tutoring, coaching and educational support experience.

I hold:

- An MSc in Psychology with Distinction from a British Psychological Society-accredited programme
- Graduate Membership of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS)
- A BSc (Hons) in Business and Management from Aston University
- A Level 5 TEFL Diploma comprising 220 hours of training
- Extensive experience supporting academic, professional and international learners

I provide personalised tuition in:

- Psychology at GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate level
- Business Studies at GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate level
- Economics at GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate level
- English as a Second Language for adults and young learners
- Business English and professional communication
- Academic English and academic writing
- IELTS preparation
- Study skills, research methods and exam preparation
- Interview preparation, employability and workplace communication


My Teaching Approach:

My lessons combine strong academic knowledge with patience, structure, encouragement and genuine enthusiasm for helping people learn.

I understand that every learner is different. Some students need help understanding difficult theories, while others understand the content but struggle to express their knowledge clearly in an exam, essay, presentation or conversation. Some learners lack confidence, experience anxiety or have previously felt misunderstood in educational settings.

My background in psychology, coaching and learner development helps me recognise what may be preventing a student from progressing. I provide a calm and respectful environment in which students can ask questions, make mistakes and develop their abilities without feeling judged.

Lessons are carefully adapted to each student’s:

- Current level
- Syllabus or course requirements
- Learning style
- Strengths and weaker areas
- Academic, professional or personal goals
- Confidence and preferred pace

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, I identify what each student needs and create a clear, practical route towards improvement.

I can support topics including memory, attachment, social influence, psychopathology, biopsychology, psychological approaches, research methods, issues and debates, individual differences and wider areas of undergraduate Psychology.

My aim is not simply to help students memorise information, but to help them think like psychologists: questioning evidence, comparing explanations and communicating ideas accurately.

For adults and professionals, lessons are practical and closely connected to real situations. We may practise interviews, presentations, workplace conversations, meetings, professional emails, networking or explaining complex ideas clearly.

For young learners, lessons are age-appropriate, encouraging and interactive. I use engaging topics, stories, visual materials, games, speaking activities and structured practice to develop English skills while helping children feel confident and successful.

What You Can Expect:

Students can expect lessons that are:

Personalised rather than generic
Calm, welcoming and encouraging
Structured and goal-oriented
Academically rigorous when required
Interactive and engaging
Clearly explained
Focused on measurable progress
Adapted to the learner’s interests and needs

I provide constructive feedback and explain not only what needs improving, but how to improve it. I also help students recognise their existing strengths so that they can become more independent and confident learners.

Whether you are a parent looking for a patient and knowledgeable tutor, a student preparing for important examinations, a university learner developing academic skills, or a professional improving your English and communication, I would be delighted to support you.

Together, we will create a realistic plan, strengthen your weaker areas and help you work towards your goals with greater confidence, clarity and independence.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting your progress.

Availability: I currently offer online tuition on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with both daytime and evening appointments available. I also offer lessons throughout the day on Saturdays.

I teach students across the UK and internationally and can accommodate a range of time zones. Regular weekly lessons, short-term intensive support and focused preparation for examinations, interviews or presentations may be available.

Please feel free to contact me with your preferred days, times, subject, current level and learning goals. I will do my best to identify a suitable lesson time and recommend the most appropriate form of support.

Wider Professional Experiences:

Alongside teaching, I have worked in psychological coaching, employability support, administration, project coordination, customer communication, research and educational content creation.

As an Employment Adviser, I supported people with confidence, goal-setting, CV development, applications, interview preparation and overcoming barriers to employment.

These experiences allow me to offer students more than subject knowledge. I understand how academic ability connects with organisation, confidence, communication, wellbeing and long-term goals.
