I sort Kiera's help as I was feeling lost trying to make my dissertation make sense. Kiera spent an hour talking to me about what I needed to focus on to complete my first draft before helping me redraft. As a result, I received a distinction for my dissertation. Kiera is currently helping my with my end of year assignments as it is now possible that I could get a first class degree overall. More...

Keira tutored my 16 year old son in his AS Psychology. Keira has been excellent and accommodating with sessions fitting around my sons availability. She has been clear and concise with all her explanations and has provided many other resources outside of their sessions together. My son has found her help invaluable in the lead up to his examinations. He will continue to use her tuition services for the forthcoming A level year . More...

Kiera is a wonderful tutor who has completely transformed my daughter’s feelings toward what was her hardest
A Level!
We have been extremely lucky to have Kiera’s help with A Level Psychology and what a difference great teaching makes!
In a very short time, we have seen our daughter grow in confidence with the subject and is enjoying it as a result.
Kiera has great teaching style and methods to support my daughter with her studies and her subject knowledge is fantastic.
I would highly recommend Kiera to anyone who needs extra support to get in touch with her.
I wish we had done it sooner!
Brilliant.

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people to have that light bulb moment where something that felt very difficult is suddenly so clear. Psychology and philosophy can feel very daunting, but it's incredibly rewarding when you finally understand the importance of the concepts in the fields.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I would like to advance my career in psychology, but I am also growing my family, so working from home as a Psychology Tutor helps me to stay connected to my career but also have the flexibility I need for childcare.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am currently working at the University of Sussex International Study Centre as a Psychology Tutor, so I have a good understanding about what it takes to get by in a psychology course, and to excel for those who are very ambitious. I have a strong academic background. I have achieved a 1 in most of my university coursework, and never lower than a 2.1. I have been fortunate enough to study across 3 different universities, so I have been exposed to psychology coursework from many different perspectives.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I usually teach online. It is not as challenging as some might feel. I have coursework for most of the GSCE and A Level exam boards, and I use a lot of screen sharing and document sharing during lessons. I can also edit essays online via screen sharing.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Online teaching fortunately does not carry any Covid-19 risk. For any in person lessons I am more than happy to take any precautions that students feel are necessary for a safe learning environment.
Essay Writing Support
I have written over 30 academic essays and achieved a distinction for most of them. I can help you to plan and edit essays for school or university, so that the arguments you make are strong, and your writing is clear and concise.
Developing a Study Plan
I can help you look through your coursework and decide how much time you need to spend on your coursework and preparing for your assessments and exams.

Statistical Analysis
I am competent with descriptive and analytical statistics in theory, and using SPSS.
Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) Prep
Multiple choice questions (MCQ) can seem easy because the answer is given. However what students often find is that MCQs are quite tricky because the answers all look very similar to one another, or they all look correct, or they all look incorrect. There is a specific way of thinking that students need to use in order to achieve high grades in their MCQ assessments and examines. I can help with revising for MCQs in a way that will develop the thinking skills needed to differentiate the answers and allow for the best chance at achieving good grades.
