Online Psychology Tutor Thespina

I have over 20 years' teaching experience, with particular expertise in International Baccalaureate Psychology, alongside extensive experience teaching Psychology at GCSE and A Level across all major UK exam boards. During my career, I have taught in the UK, UAE and Bermuda, working with students from a wide range of cultural backgrounds and supporting learners with diverse abilities, aspirations and learning styles.

As well as teaching in the classroom, I have held leadership roles including Head of Department and IB Diploma Programme Coordinator, giving me a thorough understanding of the IB curriculum, assessment requirements and the skills students need to succeed.

In recent years, I have expanded my work beyond the classroom by providing online tutoring, mentoring and academic support to students internationally. I also author curriculum, textbooks and assessment materials for organisations including INTO University Partnerships and EdQwest, ensuring my knowledge of the latest IB Psychology syllabus and examination requirements remains current.

Whether a student is aiming for a grade 7 in IB Psychology, a top grade at GCSE or A Level, preparing for final examinations, improving essay-writing skills or simply building confidence in Psychology, I provide personalised support tailored to their individual goals and learning needs.

My specialist areas include:

IB Psychology (SL & HL) – Comprehensive support across the full syllabus, including all four contexts, Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3 and Internal Assessment.

A Level & GCSE Psychology – Support across all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Cambridge International, covering subject knowledge, application, research methods and examination technique.
