Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Is Scottish Highers Psychology considered a "serious" academic Higher by universities?

Absolutely. Scottish Highers Psychology is highly respected by universities, including top institutions like Edinburgh and Glasgow. It's not a "soft option"; it's a rigorous subject that combines scientific understanding of human behaviour with critical analysis. The skills developed, particularly in research methods and essay writing, are valued across a wide range of competitive degree courses, not just psychology.

How can a tutor help with the science and maths involved in Higher Psychology?

Many students and parents are surprised by the biological and statistical components of Higher Psychology. A dedicated Scottish Highers Psychology tutor can provide clear explanations and practical examples for topics like brain structures, neural pathways, genetics, and statistical analysis in research methods. They'll help break down these challenging areas step-by-step, ensuring your child builds a strong understanding without needing to take Higher Biology or Maths alongside it.

Can a tutor help with the independent Assignment for Higher Psychology?

Yes, definitely. The independent Assignment is a significant part of the overall grade, and a tutor can provide invaluable guidance. They can help your child understand the requirements, structure their research, develop their arguments, analyse data, and refine their writing, ensuring they manage their time effectively and produce a strong, well-supported piece of work without it consuming all their revision time for other subjects.

How do tutors help students manage the amount of content in the one-year Higher course?

Scottish Highers Psychology covers a lot of ground in a single year, which can feel overwhelming. A tutor can help your child develop effective revision strategies, create memory aids for key theories and studies (like Milgram, Piaget, or Freud), and consolidate their knowledge through regular practice and discussion. They'll ensure understanding isn't superficial and that your child is well-prepared for the exam's breadth.

My child struggles with essay writing. Can a tutor help with the final exam?

Many students find the essay-based final exam challenging. A Scottish Highers Psychology tutor can work specifically on essay structure, developing clear arguments, incorporating evidence effectively, and refining critical analysis skills. They'll provide practice questions and constructive feedback, helping your child improve their writing technique and feel confident in expressing their knowledge in exam conditions.

Is one Scottish Higher in Psychology enough if my child wants to study Psychology at university?

A strong A or B grade in Scottish Highers Psychology is an excellent foundation for a university Psychology degree. While an Advanced Higher can provide an even deeper understanding, it's not always a requirement for entry. Universities typically look for a strong overall academic profile across several Highers. A tutor can help ensure your child achieves the best possible grade in their Higher, making their application stand out.

How do I know the tutors are qualified and safe?

We take tutor quality and safety very seriously. We carefully vet all our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. This rigorous process includes checking their qualifications, experience, and ensuring they have up-to-date background checks. You can also read reviews from other students and parents to help you choose the perfect Scottish Highers Psychology tutor for your child.
