Kirsten C - Tutor in Westdene
Hi! I understand the stresses of school and varsity, so I pride myself on teaching students to work smart, not hard. From my side this means identifying and adapting to your specific style of learning, breaking down big concepts into manageable pieces, and always giving constructive feedback within a supportive environment. From your side, it means setting specific goals and having a willingness to work together to reach them. A little about me: I'm doing a Master's degree in Research Psychology at WITS. I'm curious about the inner workings of the mind and how this relates to society, politics and the arts.

Psychology
I'm currently completing a MA in psychological research, and earned both my psychology bachelor's and honours degrees with distinction. I'm well-versed in all aspects of the study of psychology, including research methods (statistics, qualitative and quantitative methods) and theoretical concepts (from Freud to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and everything in between. If you need help designing a study, figuring out the basics of statistics, or just remembering core concepts in psychology for school or university, I'd be happy to help!
