About

I completed my BSc in Psychology and my Postgraduate Qualification in Psychotherapy (Level 7 UK, High Distinction, BACP). I am currently a Child Psychotherapist and a Psychology Tutor. I am passionate about helping others develop and achieve their goals by providing encouragement, structure, and consistent support.

(**successfully supported students in securing places at top universities, including UCL and King’s College London).

I have over 8 years of experience tutoring students at all stages of their academic journey. Over time, my expertise has grown significantly, and I stay up to date with the latest developments in all the subjects I teach and mentor in.

✔️ Psychology and Sociology at all levels (AQA & Edexcel), including ongoing mentoring throughout the academic year.

✔️ Guidance on dissertations, exam preparation, article comprehension, essay writing, and critical reviews.

✔️ Support with SPSS/JASP/JAMOVI, including ANOVA, regression, and data analysis/interpretation.

✔️ Delivery of 1-to-1 weekly tutoring sessions to support lecture and seminar understanding.

✔️ Assistance with UCAS applications, personal statements, and MSc applications

✔️ Support in understanding psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, integrative, and client-centred approaches to therapy.

Please send me a message with the subjects you need help with and your availability (this will make the process much easier).

Teaching for 2026 (on request)

  1. Basics of Statistics (from descriptive statistics to ANOVA and Regression)

  2. How to write and structure essays for higher marks (developing strong critical analysis skills)

  3. A-Level (AS, AQA, Edexcel): exam revision, concept understanding, and strategies for achieving higher grades

Many students struggle with these areas, which is why I have developed structured lessons that I deliver weekly. Please send me a message in advance to secure a place.

Reviews from First Tutors

5.0 across 41 reviews

Imported from Theodora M.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.

How we verify these

Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:

  • Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
  • Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.

The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

    Theodora was very responsive to my enquiries but I decided not to go ahead so have no feedback on the actual tutoring.

    Theodora has helped me so much with my resits! I had to complete 4 of them over the summer and I've passed 3 of them so far with her help! She got my grade up from 20% to 40% in a couple of weeks, which is incredible in such a small amount of time. Moreover she had lots of examples to make the concepts clear and helped me enjoy psychology as a whole! Definitely recommend her :)

    Thank you for your nice words Chantelle :)
