I’m Steph! I’m an IB graduate with 43 points and have recently completed a BSc in Sport & Exercise Science at the University of Bath and an MSc in Management at the University of Manchester.

If you’re looking for someone supportive, experienced, and results-driven, I’d love to help more students to reach their goals.
“My son had been struggling to get to grips with Global politics HL and was in danger of failing. We bought 5 online lessons and have just bought 12 more because he went from getting 3-4 in an essay to getting a 6 in his last. The tutor is giving tools to understand the subject and how best to study and learn it. Fantastic resource and I highly recommend it.”
“My daughter has excelled in her understanding of tricky subjects in her IB course such as Global Politics, Psychology and Maths. The tutors sourced are varied and experts in their field. Regular feedback is given so you know exactly where your child is in the subject.”
“Mr Hearsum is direct and knowledgeable. He has a very practical and problem-solving approach to any kind of question or doubt. He is able to answer these queries with precision and reason. His capacity to make one understand conceptual notions as well as exam taking skills is extremely helpful.”
Psychology rewards precise use of studies and balanced evaluation. Our advice on note-taking that makes revision easier is a useful place to begin.
In May 2025 the world average in Psychology was 4.6 across 28,659 candidates, and the levels split unusually: HL averaged 4.8 and SL 4.4, so SL is not the easy option it looks. Only 5.2% of candidates reached a 7, while just over half finished on a 5 or 6.
These results come from the previous course; the first grades on the redesigned one arrive in July 2027. Our tutors work from the new guide, so a student starting now is prepared for the papers they will actually sit.
The new IB Psychology course replaces the old core-and-options model with three layers, which Pearson's summary of the new guide sets out in detail.
Both levels share the content, all four contexts, the concepts and the proposal. HL goes further with extension material and Paper 3, where you interpret graphs and interview data you have never seen. Students who are comfortable with data often do well at HL.
Paper 3's data work overlaps with statistics in IB Maths AI, a common pairing for Psychology students.
The class of 2027 in the UAE has two reasons to prepare carefully. It sits the first exams of the new course, and it does so without a May 2026 exam session behind it, because the IB cancelled those exams in the UAE. Timed practice in the new formats is the best substitute.
For students who want to stay in the country, UAE University offers a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in Al Ain. Those heading to the UK should check that a course is accredited by the British Psychological Society, which is the usual first step towards becoming a chartered psychologist.

Yes, within the IB's rules. A tutor can explain what each of the four criteria rewards, help you link a real-world problem to a population and a method, and talk through ethical safeguards. You choose the problem, design the study and write every word; the IB's academic integrity policy rules out a tutor drafting or correcting the proposal. Our internal assessment page explains the line in more detail.
Not much yet, which is one reason students ask for a tutor. Apart from the IB's specimen papers, there are no past papers for the redesigned course, so a tutor can set practice questions in the new formats, including unseen studies for Paper 2 and data sets for HL Paper 3, and mark them against the published criteria.
Lanterna's Psychology lessons start at £58 (~285 AED) an hour, one-to-one and online, with the lowest rate on larger packages. Across subjects our students improve by an average of 1.5 grades or more, though every student's result depends on their starting point and how many lessons they take.
It helps, but many psychology degrees do not ask for IB Psychology itself, and requirements vary by university, so check each course you are considering. What IB Psychology gives you is a head start on research methods and ethics. In a consultation we can talk through your subject choices and the universities on your list.
