Tuitional Certified Tutor · Psychology and Sociology specialist across IGCSE, A-Level and IB
10+ years experience • Flexible scheduling
Sophia Abid is a clinical psychologist who teaches. 10 years in, she still brings case material from practice into her lessons, which is why abstract theory tends to land quickly: a study becomes a person with a problem, and the evaluation writes itself.
Across 20,000 teaching hours she has developed a firm line on essays, which is to plan before writing and then answer the question that was actually asked. Her students learn to interrogate research methodology rather than recite it. Those working through demanding exam years also get steady wellbeing support alongside the academic material, which matters more than most timetables admit.
