Maximise your IB Psychology score with the best tutors in Perth

IB Psychology investigates human behavior through scientific and theoretical approaches.

Core units include:

Biological Approach: Brain structures, neurotransmitters, genetics, and their effect on behavior
Cognitive Approach: Mental processes like memory, decision-making, and schema theory
Sociocultural Approach: Social identity, cultural influences, and group behavior

Students also study research methods and apply them across topics. HL students take an additional qualitative research methods unit and explore two options such as abnormal psychology, health, human relationships, or developmental psychology.

IB Psychology can be challenging due to the need to understand theory and apply it to research and real-life behavior. With a structured approach, many students find it both engaging and manageable.

Sessions are tailored to the student's needs, focusing on difficult concepts, essay structure, and applying research. Tutors provide feedback on practice questions and IA drafts, helping students improve accuracy and analysis.
