This course will highlight the many roles that psychology plays in physical illness from 1) being well and staying well and the role of healthy behaviors and behavior change; 2) getting sick with a focus on pathological beliefs, awareness of symptoms, seeking help and communicating with health professionals; 3) Illness in terms of stress, pain, and chronic diseases such as obesity, coronary heart disease and cancer. 4) the role of gender in health, and 5) health outcomes in terms of quality of life and longevity.

Stories are as old as we are, but if you want to put a story on paper or portray a story, it turns out to be more difficult than talking to your friends. How about now?
Not what you tell, but HOW you tell it is the most important.
The basics and how to use psychology to write a story, this is what you will learn anyway. Those who want to continue afterwards will learn how to write a script. Fiction or facts, you decide what you want to learn.

Psychology is a subject classed as a fundamental social science of the brain. It is used to develop our cognitive, behavioural and social aspects as humans.

Our whole world can be viewed through the eyes of psychology which is why I'm extremely passionate to tutor psychology and encourage others to share the same passion.

I have studied psychology A level for two years and received a high pass grade at a well renowned college in Manchester, United Kingdom.

I have achieved a high 2:1 grade in a Bachelor's of science degree (with honours) in Educational psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University.

My tutoring course will include help with GCSE or A level basic psychology and exam technique used to help pass exams and mocks with a High pass (A*-C). I can cover biopsychology, cognitive psychology, behavioural, procedural and social. I also will cover the main studies and psychologists needed to be studied and implemented in to exams such as Freud and Bowlby etc.
I have many recourses approved by major exam boards such as AQA and Edexcel and will cover main topics that are likely to come up in exams.

I am a Doctor of Psychology and researcher. Since October 2016 I have been successfully tutoring many B.A. and M.A. and Ph.D. level students and professionals who required help with Psychology (AS, A-level, and Degree level), Data analysis, SPSS, jamovi, JASP, R, Statistics, Research Methods, or were looking for assistance with their research projects/ theses/ dissertations.

I am specialised in Clinical Psychology (reading disability/ dyslexia), although I have good knowledge in other fields of psychology, as well as research methodology and data analysis (expert in SPSS). I would love to help students with the knowledge I have in individual live one-to-one sessions online via Skype/Zoom. I can also recommend literature on a particular subject and send something I already have in my database.

As a previous IGCSE & IB student graduate I understand the stress and difficulty in preparing for both the Mid-terms and End of year exams. The curriculum provided for both subjects will be based on deconstructing the theory into smaller sections which are then each focused on key vocabulary and factual information. Additionally, for each subject a clear essay structure for exams will be outlined and practised based on IGCSE & IB grading criteria. Dependent on how close the student is too their final or mid-term exams lessons will be personalized to improve on their limitations and conjointly a structured summary will be created to optimally succeed in their exams.

Sociology: A*

For students passionate about A-level psychology but can't find a proper tutor. I help students like you master the subject content and ace your external exams using my extensive knowledge and powerful learning methods.

I understand how frustrating it is not to have psychology offered at your school. When I was doing A-levels, I tried to self-study A-level psychology but it was just too much without a tutor. After getting triple A* in my A-levels, I went on to study what I always wanted; BSc (Honours) Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Nottingham.

Now I make psychology more accessible for students like you by helping them master the content as well as providing tips on how to perform incredibly at external exams to get an A* as a previous triple A* student myself.

See you in class!

It discusses the theories developed by psychologists, compares them, and is concerned with describing the healthy state of the psyche and its disorders.
