Happy New Year

Joseph Sparks

31st December 2016

The tutor2u Psychology Team would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank all of our followers for what has been an incredible 2016.

To say that 2016 was a busy year is a severe understatement and our success would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of the Psychology teachers in our amazing ‘tutor2upsych’ community, so thank you.

We know that 2017 is going to be an interesting year, with the first linear exams looming on the horizon. However, we remain committed to supporting teachers and students throughout this process. Here are a few things coming up in 2017 that might just help.
