I completed a PhD in Psychology, with a focus on Cognitive Neuroscience and Visual Perception, giving me a thorough knowledge of Cognitive and Biological Psychology. I have been working as a full time online tutor for GCSE (UK age 14-16 curriculum) and A-level (UK age 16-18 curriculum) since February 2018.
This class may include discussion of various scary/spooky topics, but learners will be instructed at the beginning (and reminded during the session) to keep the discussion age-appropriate. If your learner is particularly worried/sensitive about a specific topic, please feel welcome to let me know in advance. Learners may also use the private chat to ask for a topic change if they don't feel comfortable at any point. There will be NO graphic images used in the class.
