McAllister’s AQA A-Level Psych Shop

Average Rating3.72
(based on 11 reviews)

I have been teaching A-Level Psychology for 12 years to very mixed ability cohorts so my resources appeal to both A* and E grade candidates. Each lesson covers a double page spread from the textbook and would take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to teach. Every lesson includes a PPT presentation, a handout for students to complete throughout the lesson, and lots of interactive activities. Each lesson is comprehensive and includes everything a student needs, no need to go elsewhere.
