About Primary Psychology enrichment in Ireland

Psychology is not a primary school subject in Ireland, and it is offered only by some schools even at senior level. These sessions are enrichment for children curious about why people think and behave as they do.

The most immediately useful part is memory and attention. Children learn how memory actually works, why cramming fails, why testing yourself beats rereading, and why concentration is hard - and then apply that to their own homework. It is rare for a subject to pay for itself this directly.

Alongside that we look at feelings, habits and how psychologists test their ideas, which introduces the notion that a claim about people needs evidence behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Psychology a primary school subject in Ireland?+
No, and it is not a core Leaving Certificate subject either. These sessions are enrichment for curious children, and much of the content - how memory and attention work - is genuinely useful for their own studying.
Is my child too young for this?+
We start from where your child actually is. Sessions are pitched at their reading level and attention span, and the tutor stops as soon as interest does rather than pushing through a syllabus.
Are lessons personalised?+
Every session is live one-to-one with a dedicated tutor, so the pace and the examples are built around your child.
Is this therapy or counselling?+
No, and it is important to be clear about that. This is an academic subject taught as enrichment. If your child needs emotional support, that is a matter for your school or GP, not a tutor.
What is the most useful thing they will take away?+
How to study. The memory and attention content applies to every other subject they do, which makes it unusually practical.
What age suits it?+
Generally Fourth Class and upwards, when children start being able to reflect on their own thinking.
