What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can teach and support learners using evidence-based psychology—combining structured instruction, wellbeing-focused guidance, and strong content/problem-solving to improve progress and outcomes.

I currently deliver IAL Edexcel-aligned A-Level Psychology, turning complex psychological theory into clear, engaging learning. I’ve developed targeted answer-writing programmes and individualised exam preparation plans using progress tracking, feedback cycles, and SMART goal-setting.

Alongside teaching, I’ve led student wellbeing initiatives and delivered one-on-one counselling and group workshop support. I founded and ran a Wellness Society, designing mental health awareness campaigns and follow-up interventions that remain evidence-informed and measurable.

My background also includes therapeutic work and capacity-building: I’ve applied CBT, ABA, and Play Therapy, maintained structured case histories, and supported families through psychoeducation. I’ve also worked as a Psychology Content Lead, building marking rubrics and supporting an AI model for consistent, targeted exam feedback—while collaborating with software teams to improve the learner experience.
