How We Help Students Prepare for Each Paper

Paper 1 – Introductory Topics in Psychology

Includes Social Influence, Memory, Attachment, and Psychopathology. Many students struggle with evaluation (AO3) and remembering key studies—our lessons break these down with memory strategies and exam skills.

Paper 2 – Psychology in Context

Focuses on Approaches, Biopsychology, and Research Methods. This paper includes tricky statistics and design-based questions—areas we build confidence in week by week.

Paper 3 – Issues and Options in Psychology

Covers Issues & Debates and optional topics (like Schizophrenia or Forensics). This paper often includes synoptic elements, which our tutors help students master through application and comparison practice.
