About Me
Hi, I’m Patrisiya, a final-year BSc Psychology student at Brunel University London, currently on track for a First-Class degree. I have also received an offer to study at the University of Oxford at postgraduate level, where I will be continuing my academic journey. My academic strengths are especially quantitative, with strong experience in psychology, research methods, statistics, data analysis, academic writing, and large research datasets.
I tutor GCSE, A-Level, psychology, research methods/statistics, academic writing, Arabic, and Bulgarian. For GCSE students, I can provide broad academic support across subjects, including exam preparation, revision planning, essay writing, study skills, and confidence-building. At A-Level, I particularly support psychology, Arabic, Bulgarian, research methods, essay structure, exam technique, and academic writing.
I am also a native Arabic and Bulgarian speaker, so I can support students with speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence in both languages. I work with complete beginners as well as students who already have some knowledge and want to improve their fluency or accuracy.
I also have experience supporting children with special educational needs in both mainstream and specialist school settings. I have worked as a Learning Support Assistant and as a Trainee ABA Tutor, supporting students with different learning styles, communication needs, and confidence levels. This has shaped the way I teach: I am patient, encouraging, and able to break tasks down into clear, manageable steps.
Alongside my degree, I have worked on real research projects involving children, schools, mental health, loneliness, and large datasets. This has strengthened my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and help students understand not only what to write, but how to think critically and structure their answers well.
My aim as a tutor is to create a calm, supportive, and organised space where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether a student needs help improving grades, preparing for exams, understanding psychology, learning statistics, or developing Arabic or Bulgarian language skills, I tailor my support to their level, goals, and confidence.
My teaching style
My teaching style is structured, supportive, and student-centred. I adapt each session to the student’s level, goals, confidence, and learning needs. I break difficult topics into clear steps, use examples, and focus on practical strategies students can apply in exams and coursework. My experience in mainstream and specialist schools has taught me to be patient, flexible, and attentive to how each student learns best.
My Proudest Achievements
My proudest achievement is receiving an offer to study at the University of Oxford at postgraduate level while being on track for a First-Class degree in Psychology. I am also proud of going beyond my taught curriculum by developing strong quantitative skills in statistics, data analysis, and research methods, as well as gaining real research experience with children, schools, mental health, and large datasets. However, one of the achievements I cherish most is seeing my previous tutees achieve their target grades, grow in confidence, and receive offers from the universities they had dreamed of attending. Watching students realise that they are capable of more than they thought is one of the most rewarding parts of tutoring for me. I am also proud of my experience supporting children with different learning needs in mainstream and specialist schools, which has made me a more patient, adaptable, and compassionate tutor.
