“Psychology can unlock our potential when we understand how the science relates to everyday living. I find using my experience and expertise as a psychologist incredibly fulfilling when it helps guide people toward demystifying complex thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.

LANGUAGES
MEET THE TUTOR Rex Fargher
“Most people say “I’m rubbish at languages”, but you’re not! It’s the way they’re taught. Languages are taught like a science but language is an art. The more you speak and have fun, the easier it is for you. The type of Spanish you will use on holiday or in an everyday conversation is easy to learn when you immerse yourself in the language. I teach conversational Spanish with no complicated rules or grammar.”
