Psychology teacher with 8+ years of experience and a Master’s from UCL offering online classes.

In my experience, many students believe that succeeding in psychology means memorising hundreds of disconnected facts—especially when it comes to AO3 (evaluation) questions. But there’s a more effective and rewarding, if effortful, approach: developing a critical understanding of the philosophical foundations of psychology, such as the nature of science. This turns isolated facts into parts of a bigger narrative. I help students explain psychological concepts like coherent, easy-to-follow stories. In my view, that’s the key to achieving an A*.
