Experienced social worker & manager of 10 years offering tutoring opportunities to social work and health and social care students or ASYE social workers needing some guidance or tutoring.
Methodology
I am very lucky that I have had a lot of wonderful students contact me through this website and have supported them in a number of ways since April 2020. Some have weekly support and some see me on an ad hoc basis for specific help with assignments, modules or essays.
I have supported social work students within my workplace as their practice assessors recently meaning I am up to date with university expectations, reflective practice and written work.
My teaching method is a collaborative one which enables the student to reflect upon and grow as a social work practitioner. I am nurturing and honest, I want the best for my students!
I break down pieces of work/ information into manageable chunks, offer guidance, share knowledge, ask questions to help develop reflective skills, linking theory to practice and a client centred way of practice.
I can offer bespoke tutoring in the following areas:
- specific subject areas for courses or degrees that a student may be struggling with.
-proof reading assignments, essays or dissertations.
-breaking down assignment or exam criteria. Supporting with what to cover, learning objectives and onward signposting to reading resources.
-preparing for practice placement
-legislation and policy lessons
- Developing reflective practice and critical analysis skills
I can also discuss specific needs and we can also create a plan together.
Experience
Please note I am not taking on tutoring students from April 2021 for the foreseeable.

I have completed my ASYE please note, as of April 21 I am not taking on new students for the foreseeable. programme, practice educator award and now in a senior position at a specialist child and adolescent mental health setting.

Katy is a great tutor, I have had a number of lessons with her to help with my analysis skills and feeling more confident preparing for exams. I didn’t feel rushed. I was supported and it’s clear she is knowledgable as a social worker. Thanks so much!
I’ve had 4x tutor sessions with Katy. She has helped me to prepare for my final statutory placement and a law exam. I have found Katy to be helpful in developing my knowledge and my confidence with social work practice. Katy has also helped me link theory to practice, which I struggled with during previous placements!
I have known Katy most of my life. Katy is ambitious, and dedicated, with the strong desire to succeed In everything she does. Katy has a passion for teaching others, and will always work hard to ensure she can help to the fullest of her potential. Katy is a reliable, and trustworthy person, that can definitely be recommended.
Katy was my 3rd year final placement practice educator. She was helpful, approachable, friendly and helped me to develop into the social worker I am today. She is very organised, clear and was patient with me when i was learning
