Greetings, I'm Ms. Laila, I am a devoted lifelong learner and tutor in Psychology. I have attained a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with Honours, alongside a minor in Educational Studies.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

Over the last three years, I've been actively tutoring IB Psychology SL and HL, alongside my part-time role as an IB teacher in Egypt's top international IB World schools.

My tutoring journey began in 2016, lasting until 2020, with a focus on university-level Psychology courses and academic writing. Building on this, my teaching expanded from 2020 to 2023, when I joined an international school, contributing to the instruction of IBDP and American Diploma Psychology. Continuing my tutoring efforts from 2021 to 2023, both online and in person, I concentrated on IBDP Psychology at HL and SL levels.

This varied experience not only deepened my understanding of the subject but also allowed me to refine my teaching approach to meet the diverse needs of students in various educational environments.

Tutoring Approach

In my tutoring, I've seen significant grade improvements, like taking a student from a predicted 3 to a final grade 6 in Psychology quickly. I focus on creating a supportive environment with empathy and use creative methods to simplify challenging topics. With an exam-based approach, I help students consistently achieve 7s, easing anxiety before the final exam.

My teaching style is holistic, aiming to engage students thoroughly in the subject. I understand the impact of teacher changes and provide unwavering support for continued success. I want to highlight my commitment to covering content confidently, including marking work and offering detailed feedback. Overall, my tutoring centres on individualized support, fostering confidence, and enhancing understanding in Psychology.

Testimonials

"Ms. Laila brought my predicted grade of 3 up to a 6, which was incredible since we started in September of DP2. I ended up getting a high 6 in Psychology after feeling doomed! Her level of empathy is very high, and she always finds creative ways to help me understand new topics"

Zeina, previous HL Psychology student

"Our teacher left in the middle of the year and her replacement wasn't very good. Ms. Laila ended up hard carrying my IB Psychology subject, and I found myself getting 7s on every exam with ease thanks to her exam-based approach to tutoring. I ended up not even feeling anxious before the final external exam"

Layla, previous SL Psychology student

"I failed my first mock in Psychology and a classmate recommended I try and get a slot with Ms. Laila. I was doubtful that once a week would be enough when she recommended that time frame to me, but I was amazed at how much we could cover confidently. I love that she marked my work as well, and provided feedback on my SAQs and ERQs. She also explained the IA from top to bottom and inside out"
