Katie (Tutor in Keele)

I`m currently a course assistant at Keele University.

I`m an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and I`m just finishing my PhD in social and health psychology.

I struggled with many aspects of my A levels and in adjusting to university so feel I am able to empathise with others who experience difficulties.

Through hard work, perseverance and seeking advice in the right places I was able to gain a first class degree, several awards and a scholarship.

I like to believe that I could help others not only with their academic work but with their confidence and motivation.

I love working with people and through my job as a young persons mental health support group co-ordinator, I`ve also gained a lot of experience in helping students whose work is being affected by personal circumstances.

Availability: Flexible Monday-Sunday, morning, afternoons and evenings.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I have a variety of teaching and student support experience including assisting undergraduate psychology laboratory classes, delivering lectures, assisting seminar classes, marking reports, essays and presentations, one-to-one support, teaching workshops in further education and in high schools. I have also worked closely with international students and delivered lectures and classes overseas in China through Keele University.

Importantly, I also have much experience supporting students on a one-to-one basis with academic as well as wider concerns around student life.
