Explore the role of Macbeth as a tragic hero in the play?

Macbeth is a tragic hero because he started the play as a good man, but the manipulations of the Weird Sisters and his wife brought out his baser qualities. This leads to Macbeth's moral corruption and downfall by the play's end. It is clear Macbeth begins the play as a loyal friend and decent man.

Experienced and passionate tutor

I graduated with a BSc Psychology degree in 2015. Since then, I have built a breadth of experience supporting children and young people aged 3-18 in educational settings. I have worked as an Assistant Psychologist in primary and secondary schools where I have supported students with a range of needs (including Special Educational Needs) by running 1:1 and group interventions and supporting their teachers. I have received training from specialised Educational Psychologists on topics such as working memory, study skills, coaching, self-esteem, learning difficulties, cognition and executive functioning that I apply in my work. My students range in academic ability and I have experience of working with students with additional educational needs. I tailor each session to the varying needs of my students and I work hard to provide bespoke, enjoyable sessions with access to the resources and support required to achieve good marks and improved self-confidence. I am passionate about supporting learners to reach their full potential and achieve their academic goals.
