Hello, I’m Effy. I am an experienced IB Psychology tutor and examiner. I am currently a Psychology teacher in an IB school in Greece and I focus my teaching on the well-being of my students. I have experience working with SEN students and I am at tailoring my teaching to support each individual student and supporting them in their learning.
Ι have a BSc in Psychology from Kingston University and a MSc in Clinical Neuroscience from UCL.
I have taught IB and A-levels both in private international schools and private tutoring centers, but I now specialize in IB Psychology only. I am an IB examiner for Paper 1, Paper 3 and Extended Essay. I provide resources for all papers, Internal Assessments and Extended Essays.

Support with statistics and structure of the IA.
Support with topic selection, research and guidelines.
IB Psychology is a two-year course in the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program that investigates human behavior and mental processes through different approaches.
Assessment includes external exams (Papers 1, 2, and 3) and Internal Assessments. Paper 1 focuses on the biological, cognitive and sociocultural approach to behavior, Paper 2 on optional topics, and Paper 3 (HL only) on research methodology.
Students learn about qualitative and quantitative research methods, including experiments, surveys, case studies, and observations. Emphasis is placed on ethical considerations and the evaluation of research studies.
The IA involves conducting a simple experimental study, followed by a written report.
All students will receive comprehensive material on each individual topic, specifically tailored to address the IB requirements.
