About Tomáš
I finished my BSc in Psychology at the University of Warwick. Enjoying the subject, I went on to complete a PhD in Psychological Research. I am currently a Teaching Fellow on the Psychology Foundation course at the University of Warwick, teaching Psychology to pre-university students of diverse backgrounds.
I am knowledgeable of the foundations of psychology and recent trends in the field. My time with the university has allowed me to become closely familiar with the educational system on all levels.
More broadly, I have experience in English tutoring, event planning, university application advice and lifestyle coaching.

I enjoy teaching students of all levels. My experience includes tutoring pre-university students, with the aim of making a comfortable and successful transition to higher education. On the other hand, I taught first-year university modules, helping students at the university level improve their academic writing.
I strongly believe that education is the process of nurturing your own interests. As such, I encourage students to understand and express the passions they already have. Supported by improving the academic skills, this allows students to see clear, meaningful results of their own work.
My lessons are highly personalised. We start by discussing your goals and aspirations. I then present you with possible pathways of reaching where you want to be. And ultimately, we create a content plan that lets you acquire the skills necessary. I enjoy problem based learning, which uses real world scenarios to explore the content we learn.
