IB Psychology tutors
4 UK tutors who teach Psychology at IB.
Psychology is one of the most-taken A-levels in the UK (AQA dominates, with Edexcel and OCR also active). Content covers approaches, biopsychology, research methods, and topic options: memory, attachment, social influence, psychopathology and others. The maths and statistics content surprises students who chose it as a humanities subject; the methodology paper is where many grades are decided. Tutoring helps most with research methods and statistics, with the long essays (which require named studies, evaluation and application), and with the AO3 evaluation skills. Look for tutors with psychology degrees and explicit UK-spec experience. The boards diverge.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is a two-year sixth-form qualification taken in place of A-levels, offered by some independent and a small number of state schools. Students take six subjects (three Higher Level, three Standard Level) plus the Theory of Knowledge course, the Extended Essay, and CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). UK universities accept the IB on equivalent UCAS-points terms, often with course-specific subject requirements. Tutoring helps most with HL subject content (which goes beyond A-level in some cases), with the Extended Essay, and with the Theory of Knowledge essay and presentation. Look for tutors with explicit IB teaching or examining experience.
