Tarun

I am a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at University College London (UCL) with a passion for helping students succeed academically. My own high-achieving MSc in Psychology (77.5% average) has equipped me with a deep understanding of the scientific principles and academic rigor needed to excel. I'm especially proficient in advanced statistics, including SPSS and R, and can provide targeted support for complex research methods. Beyond my academic background, I bring significant experience tailoring my approach for students with diverse learning needs, ensuring every session is effective and supportive.

Tutoring Experience

I have a proven track record of teaching both in academic and clinical settings. At the university level, I've delivered engaging seminars and lectures on topics like depression. My role as a clinician is highly didactic, as I use a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model to guide individuals through a range of mental health challenges. This experience gives me a unique skill set in breaking down complex ideas and fostering understanding. Additionally, I've tutored psychology students at the University of Reading and spent a year teaching English in Hong Kong, showcasing my ability to adapt my teaching style to different ages and skill levels.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring approach is centered on empowering whoever I am tutoring. I don't just teach the material; I help you build the skills to master it yourself. We'll work on everything from understanding marking rubrics to honing your academic writing and critical thinking. Drawing on my clinical experience, I'm uniquely able to offer guidance on career pathways in psychology, including advice on relevant experience and course applications. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where we focus on your specific aspirations and needs, ensuring our time together is as productive and beneficial as possible.
I have a wealth of mental health experience via my roles working in a psychiatric hospital as an assistant psychologist, a psychological wellbeing practitioner, and a Trainee Clinical Psychologist. Because of this, I am happy to provide guidance to students on relevant experience for a career in the psychological professions, or around applying to courses.
