Bella Balian

I am a flexible and accommodating Psychology tutor, currently in the first year of my PhD in Psychology at the University of Nottingham.

I graduated from the University of Bath with a BSc (Hons) in Psychology in 2023 and have been tutoring online for the last four years throughout my degree. I have delivered over 500 lessons with unanimously positive reviews and pride myself on my ability to adapt sessions to the individual student’s needs.

My lessons are structured around the individual student, however I always maintain a focus on exam technique.

Particularly within Psychology, I often find A level students can be confident with the content and still find themselves losing marks in exam situations. I have created a bank of exam style questions within each topic to use alongside previous paper questions within lessons, ensuring students are confident in understanding the mark schemes and can effectively summarise their knowledge from the textbook to answer exam questions.

I am specialised in the AQA exam board having studied this myself at A level and having taught this to over 25 students in the years following.

I also have experience working within an Autism charity, and am confident in adapting my teaching style for neurodiverse individuals to ensure all students can get the most out of their lessons.

Previous students on alternative online platforms have provided me with the following feedback:

“Bella has really helped my daughter prepare for her A Level exams. Florence has gained a lot of confidence and feels strongly prepared for her exams. Bella always stays on point and Florence felt she always achieved a lot from her sessions.”

“Bella was an incredible tutor. She really helped me prepare for my A level exams, helping me create excellent notes. She was also brilliant at teaching exam technique, would recommend her 100%!”

“Passionate, patient and professional. Psychology is not an easy subject to teach but Bella is well aware of how to do it. No matter what topic my daughter came to her with, she had the knowledge and right methods to help her move forward. Just let her know what you want to focus on and she will organise a package of lessons for you. Thank you Bella for improving my daughter’s confidence and enhancing her knowledge, she is so excited to continue learning with you.”
