Information About Kate:

Personal Description:

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist and have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have an in-depth and broad knowledge of Psychology as a subject. I work as a teacher in a Further Education College, teaching AS/A2 Psychology.

Teaching Experience:

I am currently teaching AS and A2 Psychology at a Further Education College. I have nearly completed my first year of teaching and 100% of my students passed their AS exams in summer 2008.

Tutoring Approach:

I am a very approachable and sociable teacher and like to make my classes as interesting and creative as possible. I like a class/session to feel relaxed and I want my students to feel comfortable enough to ask questions and to tell me if they don't understand something.

I believe that learning is most effective when a student is fully involved in a lesson, not simply taking notes from a Powerpoint presentation. That might be in making posters, designing experiments, creating cartoons on computers, using modelling clay to illustrate studies and designing quizzes.

There is, of course, a time for serious study and practicing essay/exam skills too, but I aim to make the classes as engaging as possible. I want my students to enjoy the learning process and to be motivated to do well.

Qualifications:

• PGCE - currently completing
• Doctorate in Clinical Psychology
• BSc (Hons) Psychology
