Steph H's Psychology Shop - for AQA A Level and IB
I have been Head of Psychology for 17 years, working in both the UK and in Singapore, in one of the top 15 IB schools in the world, consistently achieving excellent A Level and IB results.
My strength has always been the ability to break complex ideas down into easily digestible and understandable explanations, amalgamating the 'best bits' from a wide range of source material. My resources reflect this and contain the most relevant and simple to apply explanations, studies and evaluation.
