About Me

Awarded Best University-Level Tutor 2024 by the National Tutoring Awards. I am a very experienced, professional academic and engaging private tutor. I hold a first class honours degree in Psychology with Mathematics from American International University in London with British Psychological Association accreditation. I have completed a professional qualification from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am also in the process of completing a Level 3 Award in Education and Training. I specialise in teaching Psychology and Statistics, as well as intensive exam preparation for A-Levels, Undergraduate, dissertation support and admission. I possess an in-depth understanding of students' varying learning styles, and how to mould my teaching strategies to best suit each individual’s strengths and style. Have the ability to convey otherwise dry, complex subject material into simple, fun, engrossing and memorable lessons. I hold ample knowledge of both UK and USA school curriculum. Further, I possess a strong academic background, integrated with an interactive, creative and energetic teaching style producing successful results and enabling my students’ true abilities to shine through. With a genuine interest in my students’ needs, aspirations and potential to excel.

Tutor Experience

Six years of active experience online tutoring over 150 students in Psychology and Maths at A-level, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Official tutor with elite tutoring agencies worldwide. I have also lectured classes in Quantitative Research Methods/Statistics at American International University in London. I am extremely familiar with university-level Psychology and Statistics syllabus, and A-level curriculum/exam boards. I have worked with students with various special-needs, as well as homeschooled students. Global clientele including countries such as, UK, USA, Switzerland, China, UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Netherlands, Poland, India, Nigeria and many more.

My students consistently display significant improvement, and students find learning with me to be a greatly enjoyable and interactive experience. My students have graduated with First Class degrees achieving top marks in their dissertation and modules, A* in A-Level Psychology, high grades in GCSE Maths and Psychology and obtained spots at elite schools with scholarships.

I aim to make my tutoring sessions as interactive, fun and enjoyable as possible, to ensure my tutees are engaged the entire time. Confidence, self-belief and motivation are crucial aspects of ensuring students can utilise their full potential. Thus, I ALWAYS take time to reward my students and appreciate their effort using a range of methods.

For maximum success, I create individual, personalised schedules for each of my tutees. I do ample preparation prior to each session, which requires great time and effort. This ensures they are progressing in the 'target areas' and are on track. Therefore, my lesson plans are all completely unique and geared towards each individual student.

Testimonials

1. I had the pleasure of working with Serena over the past 5 months. She has exceptional knowledge in Psychology, pertaining to any topic be it eating disorders to history of psychology. Every feedback session or document was insightful and detailed. She helped me with my assignments, exams and my dissertation which required a lot of time, planning and effort. Other than providing grammatical changes, Serena was able to help me refine my arguments and offer more clarity to my work. She always prioritised my schedule and made time for me, despite our conflicting schedules. Thank you for all your guidance and support!

2. Serena was extremely helpful especially as someone who struggles with organisation and psychological writing. She helped me stay up to date with weekly meetings and was very supportive and encouraging throughout. She also helped me use the correct language and layout for my dissertation. I achieved a strong first in my dissertation which I wouldn't have been able to do without Serena's support and I highly recommend her support for anyone who struggles with procrastination or psychological writing.

3. I am incredibly grateful for the assistance I received from Serena while working on my final year psychology dissertation which I achieved a high first class grade. Serena was of great help throughout the entire process. She was very professional and timely with her responses, always addressing every question I had with clarity and patience. Her expertise in statistics was particularly invaluable, greatly aiding my data collection and analysis. We went through the entire dissertation from start to finish, and her guidance was instrumental in shaping my work to achieve a first class grade. Serena really showed she cared about my success, making the experience both productive and enjoyable. I highly recommend Serena to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and supportive psychology tutor.

4. I was taking Statistics I during my final year of university. I was really struggling to understand what was presented on the slides during my lectures. However, once I started meeting Serena, she took me through each module/ task, and explained each concept. She went at the pace I asked for and answered all of my questions. We went through all of the exercises thoroughly to prepare for the exam which I ended up doing well on. Serena was able to answer my questions and explain concepts in a way I understood and used examples which helped a lot. She was also very flexible with hours and made sure to make time for me before my exam. I would absolutely recommend Serena for anyone who needs a hand with Statistics.

5. Serena is a kind and supportive tutor, and helped me through the process of writing my psychology degree report. She was well prepared for every lesson, and always offered advice on areas I could improve on. She is very knowledgable in her field and was able to explain things in a simple way so that I felt confident to apply these lessons myself. With her help, I was able to write a report I feel proud of in a subject I previously struggled with. I would highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone!

6. I cannot recommend Serena highly enough. She played an instrumental role in guiding me through my psychology dissertation, providing invaluable support while still allowing me the space to think independently and conduct my own research. Her approach was the perfect balance of guidance and autonomy, which greatly enhanced my confidence in scientific writing. Her feedback was always thoughtful and constructive, helping me to refine my ideas and present them more clearly. I always felt catered to, as Serena took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored her guidance accordingly. Thanks to her, I felt much more confident in my abilities and was able to produce a dissertation that I’m truly proud of. If you’re looking for a tutor who is not only knowledgeable but also patient, encouraging, and skilled at fostering independent thinking, Serena is the perfect choice.

7. Serena was an excellent psychology university tutor! Very good for boosting confidence, as well as brilliant communication. She’s very friendly and takes time to get to know the students she works with to help provide ample support, would definitely recommend!

8. I greatly enjoyed studying with Ms. Serena and she engages very well whenever I had questions. Also, I felt confident doing an exam as it was beneficial when I revised and memorized it with her. I recommend Serena for all students who need help in university psychology courses!

9. I passed all my exams! Before tutoring with Serena I had failed my statistics exams and was struggling. I thank Serena so much for her help. She was amazing.
