About Oviya

I'm Oviya, a Counseling Psychologist and SEL Educator with an M.Sc in Counseling Psychology from Christ University, Bangalore, and over two years of experience across school counseling, psychology teaching, and life skills facilitation.

My work sits at the intersection of education and mental well-being. I have taught psychology at CBSE and international school levels, designed and delivered Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs for students from Grade 2 through Grade 12, and provided individual counseling support for children, adolescents, and adults. I also run my own practice focused on counseling and workshop-based life skills coaching.

I hold an IB Category 1 certification, a CASEL-accredited introduction to SEL, and a certification in Teaching Character and Creating Positive Classrooms from Relay Graduate School of Education. These aren't just credentials. They reflect a genuine commitment to understanding how people learn, grow, and thrive.

My teaching style is structured but human. I believe that every student whether preparing for a board exam or working on their communication skills deserves sessions tailored to their specific needs, delivered in a space that feels safe and non-judgmental.

I have facilitated workshops for schools, rehabilitation centers, NGOs, and community groups, which means I'm comfortable adapting to very different learners and contexts. Students often tell me that what they appreciate most is that I make complex ideas feel accessible and that they leave each session with something they can actually use.

I look forward to supporting your learning journey.

About the lesson

Psychology isn't just a subject. It's a lens that changes how you see yourself and everyone around you. I'm Oviya, a Counseling Psychologist and SEL Educator with a Master's degree from Christ University, Bangalore, and over two years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults across schools and counseling settings.

WHO THIS IS FOR?
My classes are open to:
• School students (Grades 6–12) studying psychology or looking to build emotional intelligence
• College and undergraduate students in psychology or allied fields
• Adults and working professionals who want to strengthen their social communication and interpersonal skills
• Parents who want to understand child behavior and communication better

WHAT I TEACH:
• Psychology (CBSE Class 11 & 12 | IB PSYCHOLOGY I A&AS Levels I Undergraduate level)
• Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
• Social Communication Skills — active listening, empathy, assertiveness, conflict resolution
• Life Skills Coaching — managing stress, building self-awareness, emotional regulation
• Psychological assessment concepts and theory

MY TEACHING APPROACH:
I believe learning happens best when it feels relevant to your real life. Every session is built around three things: understanding, reflection, and application.

I use a mix of:
• Interactive discussions and real-world case studies instead of passive lecturing
• Role plays, freeze-frame activities, and creative exercises to bring concepts to life
• Reflective journaling prompts to deepen personal insight
• Structured frameworks for social communication — so you don't just understand the theory, you actually practice the skill

For academic students, I break down complex theories into relatable examples and help connect textbook content to everyday experiences, making it far easier to retain and apply.

HOW A TYPICAL CLASS LOOKS
A standard 60-minute session usually flows like this:
→ Warm-up (5–10 min): A quick reflection question or activity to get you thinking
→ Core concept (20–25 min): Clear explanation with examples, visuals, or a short case study
→ Application activity (15–20 min): Role play, discussion, or skill practice
→ Wrap-up (10 min): Key takeaways, Q&A, and a simple practice tip to carry forward

Sessions can be adjusted based on your pace, goals, and whether you're preparing for exams or working on personal growth.

WHAT MAKES MY CLASSES DIFFERENT
• I come from both a teaching and a counseling background. So I understand not just the subject, but also how people learn, get stuck, and grow
• I hold an IB certification and have designed SEL programs used in international school settings
• My approach is never one-size-fits-all. I tailor each session to your specific needs, whether that's exam prep, skill-building, or self-discovery
• I create a safe, non-judgmental space — especially important when topics touch on emotions, mental health, and personal experience
• I have hands-on experience facilitating workshops for students, corporates, and NGOs — so I know how to make learning engaging for different audiences

Whether you're a student trying to ace your psychology paper, a young adult wanting to communicate more confidently, or someone simply curious about how the mind works, I'd love to be part of your learning journey.
