Tutor Profile

Premila

Private Psychology and Sociology Tutor in Chelmsford

My background is in teaching and tutoring both at A level and GCSE Psychology and Sociology. I am based in the Chelmsford area in Essex. I am a friendly, approachable and extremely committed tutor who always strives to enable students to achieve their potential.

Alongside teaching and tutoring, I am currently training as a life coach which has been very valuable in building positive working relationships with students by supporting and encouraging students to work consistently hard in order to reach their academic goals.

Teaching Experience

I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience (over 25 years) in both the independent and state sector schools and colleges where I have taught Psychology and Sociology students of various ability levels and backgrounds.

I have an excellent track record of 80% of Sociology students and 70% of Psychology students achieving grades A*-B. Many of my students have continued to study these subjects at degree level.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is very interactive using students' own knowledge and developing this further. Students are encouraged to stretch themselves and work as hard as possible in order to achieve success. I have the ability to convey understanding in relation to complex areas of both subjects and I am able to communicate effectively to students of varying academic ability.

My approach is student-centred, tailored to each student's individual requirements. The focus is on problem areas and difficulties that the student may need to work through. I believe that in order to achieve success students benefit from learning good exam techniques and also by working through past papers and plenty of practice answering exam questions.

My son is being tutored for his Psychology A’level finals and from the first session felt reassured. He says that his confidence grew immediately in the topic as she takes the time to work out how to explain things in different ways. I thoroughly recommend her.

Premila is a very calm, knowledgeable and caring tutor who engages students to the subject very well and quickly. She teaches my daughter who is doing A Level Psychology and we are very pleased with her. My daughter has Autism, and is not often comfortable with new people, but she didn't have any problems with Premila and has, in fact gained lots of knowledge and confidence through her. I definitely recommend Premila for anyone looking for a Psychology tutor!

Premilla has been a great help to me these last few months. Before my exams I had so much weaknesses in both psychology and sociology but once Premilla started to tutor me all those misunderstandings became clear. The structure of lessons are organised and very understanding. She goes through everything step by step and ensures that I understand everything by asking me follow up questions. Thank you so much for all your help, definitely recommend.

Tutor response
