Ollie

Hello! My name is Ollie and I’m a second year psychology student at the University of St Andrews, following my A levels in Psychology, Philosophy and Biology.

These subjects were a wonderful combination – I understand what motivates people and their thought processes, and how this is underpinned by our physical make-up and our place amongst living organisms on this planet. Alongside this I have developed critical thinking and analytical skills to look at how different people interact with each other and the world around them. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge of these subjects and I invite you to come on a journey of discovery with me. You will learn about yourself and develop your own excitement for these incredible subjects.

Through my own processes of learning, and the teachers and mentors I am lucky enough to have encountered, I understand how important it is to have a tutor who is knowledgable, enthusiastic, supportive and well organised. I take pride in being all these things and will ensure that every student learns in the way that suits them best. I know that studying is a very individual process and I will motivate and help students understand this so that they develop skills that see them through their school years and into university, and become life long learners. I will encourage them to develop confidence in their skills and knowledge of their subject, to work consistently and at a high level.

I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your journey and your striving!
