Read 'Our Psychology Teacher's Perspective' here...

At university my interest in Psychology crystallised into three main areas of focus, Social Psychology, Occupational Psychology and Criminal Psychology. Although I’m pleased to say my knowledge of Criminal Psychology has not proven itself particularly useful during my career in teaching!

Now that I’m teaching Psychology the personal enjoyment for me is still the same – the sheer variety of subject areas and skills it encompasses. I also find it very enjoyable that for most students their first experience of Psychology as a subject will be with me.

I gain great satisfaction from the fact I’m responsible for shaping their knowledge of Psychology and for introducing them to some of the stranger sides of the subject – Freud’s Oedipus and Elektra complexes always raise a few eyebrows!
