My Story

I've spent more than 20 years teaching Psychology in schools across the UK and internationally, working with students from a wide range of backgrounds and helping them develop both confidence and success in IB Psychology.

Throughout my career, one thing has become increasingly clear: students don't need more information—they need clearer explanations, effective revision strategies and the confidence to apply their knowledge in exams.  

That's why I created ThespinaRose.com.  

My goal is simple: to make IB Psychology easier to understand through practical resources, high-quality tutoring and clear exam guidance that helps every student achieve their best possible grade.

Experience

  • 20+ Years - Teaching Psychology in the UK and internationally.

  • IB Specialist - Extensive experience teaching and leading IB Psychology programmes.

  • Resource Author - Creator of revision guides, model answers and classroom resources used by teachers and students around the world.

  • Personalised Support - Helping students build confidence through practical, exam-focused tutoring.

My Teaching Philosophy

I believe students achieve their best results when they understand how psychological concepts work rather than trying to memorise endless facts or studies. 

My teaching focuses on making complex ideas clear, helping students apply their knowledge confidently and preparing them for success in the IB examinations.

Beyond Psychology

When I'm not creating resources or tutoring, I enjoy travelling, hiking in Yorkshire and spending time with family and friends. 

Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is something I value personally, and it's one of the reasons I aim to make studying Psychology more manageable and less stressful for students.
