Chris M.

Private tutor in Sheffield, United Kingdom

Education

I completed my first degree in Psychology at The University of Sheffield, UK in 1999. After a period working in higher education support I then went on to study a PhD in Neuroscience, (University of Sheffield, UK) completing this in 2004. As my teaching interests an expertise grew, I undertook a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (University of Sheffield, UK) in 2008.

Experience

I have 20 years of teaching and research experience at leading UK universities (Oxford and Sheffield). I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, neuroscience, biology and medicine. I have also worked with younger students (12-18) through many educational outreach programmes and activities. I have experience of working with students with a wide range of backgrounds and abilities. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, with a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education. I also have expertise in programming, statistics and data analysis.

Hobbies

I am a keen runner, a terrible guitarist and have a passion for helping people reach their potential. Tutoring must be seen as a learning process for the tutor as much as it is for the student. Students often know and understand more than they think they do. Difficulties frequently arise because the student does not understand something in quite the same way as may be required for an assessment or by a teacher. My starting point is to get a good understanding of what a student does know, and build from this point forwards, expanding the flexibility of their own knowledge such that they can better apply themselves to assessments and new problems.
