Tutor Profile

Theodora

Private Life Coaching and Greek Tutor in London

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.

Teaching Experience

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

✔️ 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.

Tutoring Approach

I am a dedicated tutor who uses a range of engaging and effective learning strategies to help students enjoy studying and achieve strong results. I encourage active learning by asking students to teach back what they have learned, helping to build both understanding and confidence.

I provide detailed feedback, clear guidance, and targeted corrections on essays and reports, enabling students to make measurable progress (for example, improving from 50 → 60 or 60 → 70).

All of my students have consistently exceeded expectations in their exams and dissertation results.

Theodora is very knowledgeable and my daughter has been improving her grades in a very short time. My daughter is enjoying the subject much more and finds Theodora’s lessons very informative and useful. Highly recommend for A Level Psychology.

Theodora has been tutoring my son for his A-levels in Sociology and Psychology and we’ve been extremely impressed. She is very knowledgeable in her subjects and explains complex topics clearly, which has really helped build his confidence. She is also highly responsive and organised, always happy to answer questions and provide extra support when needed. Her lessons are well structured and engaging. She is patient, encouraging, and clearly committed to helping her students succeed. Thank you Theodora!

I highly recommend Theodora as an excellent, reliable and patient tutor! Her depth of knowledge in the field is outstanding, and it has made an enormous difference to my understanding of the subject. Her insights have consistently helped me think more critically and develop deeper, more nuanced perspectives. She is also very responsive and thoughtful with her feedback, and it’s clear how much she cares about her students’ progress. I’ve learned so much from her and feel very lucky to have had her support!
