“Our architecture teacher teaches us a lot from the history of architecture to designing in the present day, and about our future careers as architects. It has made me want to become an architect or at least study architecture. Today we've talked about portfolios and what is necessary for that next movement to college and to get accepted into University. It's helped me a lot to prepare for the next two years, and where I'm going to be heading to get to that point.”

Meet our Psychology tutors
Immerse Education’s tutors bring their knowledge and experience to every lesson, making psychology easier to understand. They guide students through experiments, case studies, and research, explaining complex ideas in a simple way. Each tutor has their own area of expertise, so students get to explore different sides of psychology.
Through discussions and hands-on learning, students start thinking more deeply about human behaviour. Tutors give personal feedback, helping students grow in confidence and find their own interests. For those learning English as a second language, extra support is available. Tutors help with key psychological terms so students can follow readings and express their ideas clearly. With a friendly and supportive approach, our tutors make learning psychology engaging and rewarding. Their goal is to inspire students and help them take their first steps toward a future in psychology.
