I think you should try emailing the teacher and maybe say you are feeling abit lost in the subject and ask her to go over certain things with you, it would even help for a few people in the class to email her saying this. It would hopefully make her slow down and try explaining things better in class, if that fails you could always ask for her help outside of class. But i would say to go on youtube and buy a few books to teach yourself anyway just to get a good grasp of everything

Thank you, I will email her tomorrow and ask some people in the class to do the same. Does the AQA psychology cover the whole course in detail? and is it worth me making my notes from that?

Follow the specification to know exactly what is relevant to you and what is not. Also ask the other psychology teachers to explain the most difficult parts that you can't learn on your own (if there are any other teachers). The official textbook is pretty good, albeit expensive.
Specification: https://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resourc...82-SP-2015.PDF
Some websites I use to condense my notes down (and I used them to self-teach Social Influence over the summer to see if I would like A-Level Psychology and, now we're doing it in class, I already know everything we're learning there):
https://learndojo.org/a-level/aqa-psychology/
https://psychologyhub.co.uk/paper-1/ (this one really condenses things down to what you need for the exam)
https://www.tutor2u.net/psychology/topics
https://www.simplypsychology.org/
Finally, there's a study group for A-Level Psychology on TSR if you want to ask current and ex-students for help in the future: https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=5845082
Hope that helps

Yea i think you should defo use it as a guideline to make your notes, but then maybe research and use videos to get more information so your able to really develop and analyse your points in an essay question. This would help get top marks and make you stand out to examiners

Is Cameron Diaz a good teacher? That was a joke.
But on a serious note, it depends on how bad. If they are just not good at teaching the curriculum, you should probably stick it out, read the textbooks, find extra-help/tutoring if need be, and just deal for however long you have them. If they are repeatedly verbally, physically or educationally(?) abusive to one or any number of students, talk to their supervisor, be that a department head or a principal.
