Hi, I’m Onyiu, a passionate tutor with 1 year of tutoring experience, dedicated to helping students build confidence in A-Level Psychology, IGCSE First Language English, and IGCSE Global Perspectives.
As a first-year psychology student at the University of Bath, I am able to constantly build onto my own learning and understanding of the field whilst simultaneously imparting this onto my students. This enables me to be able to provide that extra depth in my lessons.
Through tutoring, I want to help other students reach their full academic potential, regardless of the academic level they are currently working at, regardless of whether they themselves believe they are capable of doing so.
I want to be the academic cheerleader for students that I wish I had when I was struggling in school.
What sets me apart from most tutors is I know all too well what it feels like to struggle academically. To grind nonstop in the discouraging absence of results armed with nothing but unwavering grit and determination to prove your own academic potential to yourself.
But I also know what it feels like to exceed my own expectations, and I want to help others do the same.
In terms of my other accomplishments, I have written, edited, and published a non-fiction introductory book to Psychology - "Maybe You Can Read Minds Too: The Only Introduction to Psychology You'll Ever Need (or want)", which is available for purchase on Amazon.
In 2024, I also won Northeastern University London's Essay Competition for Psychology, with my essay titled: "To what extent do mental factors impact ageing?"
In my IGCSEs, I achieved 6A*s (highest achievable) and 2As in First Language English, Chemistry, World Literature, Geography, Global Perspectives, Business Studies, Mathematics, and Drama.
For sixth form, I studied at Cheltenham Ladies College and achieved A*AAA in EPQ, A-Level Psychology, English Literature, and Mathematics (3 marks away from A*).
Having written an EPQ has also equipped me with highly effective time management skills.
I believe this will significantly contribute to my effectiveness as a tutor, alongside the empathy I have cultivated having experienced the countless trials and tribulations of my own academic career.
