Undergraduate Personal Statement Writing for your UCAS Application

Von 21.82 Fr /Std

Nothing about applying to university is easy or straight forward. Perhaps the biggest ask is the personal statement: somehow, you are expected to condense your life story and choices down into a single sheet of paper, to advertise yourself as a student to your chosen university/universities. During an already tumultuous period of your life, you are expected to somehow reflect adequately, sell yourself, and justify your life choices all at once in order to pursue your academic dreams.

When I applied to university, I received offers from all 5 of my choices (Manchester Metropolitan University, Glasgow Caledonian University, Salford University, University of Strathclyde, and the University of West Scotland). I'm now looking to help you with your university application process. During our sessions we can look at how to best tell your story in a way that makes sense to a university admissions team, how to structure your personal statement, the type of language that is appropriate to use, and quick and easy proofreading tips.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Understanding Psychology - for GCSE, A-level, or first-year university students

25.09 Fr /Std

I am a Psychology graduate holding a first-class honors degree. I have been studying Psychology for the past five years; from A-level up to my university graduation. I am passionate about the Renaissance nature of Psychology; all of the different topics and areas you have to learn about to become a Psychologist - but this also makes Psychology a difficult subject to master.

Throughout our lessons, you can guide me through the exact topics you would like to cover. For example, you might be a whizz at social psychology but totally stuck in cognitive or child psychology, and so I can target my lessons to your exact needs. Together we will go through topics within psychology as well as tackling tasks and activities together.

Applying and Understanding APA (6th) Format and Referencing for Undergraduate Psychology Students

27.28 Fr /Std

Starting out at university is difficult enough - your work is suddenly anticipated to be of a stratospheric standard while you are still settling in to a new way of life. You're affronted with new depths to your chosen field that you hadn't accounted for - and to make matters worse, everything has to be formatted in a new (to you) style called APA format.

APA formatting is a writing style and standard developed by the American Psychology Association, and many undergraduate psychology courses require all written coursework to be presented in this style; whether it be a scientific report or a long-form essay. Together we will spend these sessions breaking down exactly what the APA format is, and how to ensure all of your written work meets those standards. Throughout our sessions, we will cover how to use APA-style referencing, how to format our psychological reports (both Quantitative and Qualitative) via the use of appropriate headings and sub-headings, how to present statistics, and more.

I am a recent BSc Psychology graduate holding a first-class degree. I achieved this by ensuring my academic writing style and grasp of the APA format was of a high standard. I look forward to sharing what I've learnt with you!

Have you always wondered how to write the perfect essay? Or perhaps, has the global pandemic caused your curriculum to be changed, and you now have to suddenly hand in a lot more term papers and other academic creations? Then this class is for you and can help improve your academic writing skills!
There are plenty of tips and tricks out there, and I am here to help you not only learn about them but to put them to good practice. Be it referencing or expanding your vocabulary or improving the structures of your papers: it can all be learned!

I intend to create a productive learning environment, whereby you as the student will be practicing a lot so that your progress is permanent and you can easily apply your new knowledge in class. You will also learn more about common mistakes you may be making and how you can easily avoid making them in the future. If this sounds like a promising deal to you, don't hesitate to reach out!
Note: this class is for academic writing in the English language (not German).

Bei der Arbeit an eigenen Texten entwickelt man oft einen Tunnelblick durch den es einfach wird, Fehler und Ungereimtheiten zu übersehen. Sie sind einem schon so vertraut, dass fehlende Buchstaben, Kommata oder eine verschobene Satzstruktur uns selbst gar nicht mehr auffallen.

Daher ist es immer sinnvoll - gerade bei wichtigen Texten - jemand anderen Korrektur lesen zu lassen. Egal ob es um Grammatik und Rechtschreibung, Verständlichkeit und Leserfreundlichkeit oder umgangssprachliche Formulierungen geht; ich helfe gerne weiter!

Natürlich kann ich nur begrenzt zum Inhalt Rückmeldung geben, aber es ist beispielsweise bei wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten nie verkehrt, eine fachfremde Person Korrektur lesen zu lassen. Gerade hier offenbart sich meist, wie adressatengerecht ein Text ist.

Melde Dich also gerne mit einer kurzen Info zu Deinem jeweiligen Text und den Punkten, auf die ich bei der Korrektur besonders achten soll.
