Hello, Sterfanie !
This is a situation in which you can make plans for. You can make up the credits for Psychology 101 and your tutorial class. I am not exactly sure what a tutorial class is in your country, however (is it in psychology ? a class teaching you how to tutor ? A different subject ? ). I would like to share some advice as to what American students do in this situation and you can compare to see if it is possible to do in the University System in your country.
For the Psychology 101 course, you should look into if you can take the course again, with a different teacher and if you take it at a different college, make certain that it would transfer credit over to your university that you plan to graduate from. It may not be the case of you not being familiar with life science. If Psychology 101 is taught effectively, it provides an introductory to a life science. I would say to take the course over at a different college or take it at night or in summer session if that is offered. Definitely do not sign up for the same course with the same teacher.
You seem to be a successful student and perhaps it may not be you, rather other factors that make it difficult for you with the two courses you've mentioned. You will definitely be able to obtain your Bachelors Degree in Social Science which is your goal, so do not worry. There are ways around your situation. I would do a search online for reviews of professors and hopefully your college is listed so that you can read critiques about professors. You should also ask other students who may have had a different professor for Psych 101 and see who they recommend. I left a link for you below for a professor rating website which I believe is American, but you can try it or see if there is something equivalent in your country.
I would also advise that you go to your college's website and read about guidelines. You most likely can e-mail your specific question to get an answer based upon your college's protocol and set guidelines. I anticipate that you'll have no problem with this. People have fail situations all the time and do end up obtaining their Bachelors degree. Whatever "overcredit" means to you, also do not worry. I knew students when I was a student that kept going to college, semester after semester, changing majors three times or students that had many credits but never signed up for their Bachelors Degree. I would suggest visiting the academic counseling office on your campus also to see what they say about it, even if it's just reassurance.
I hope that this has helped in alleviating any worry and I encourage you to follow through with the courses you plan to take. Best wishes to you !

Hi there,
Don't worry if you're not quite up to speed with the course setup, including tutorials, over-crediting, and so on. It's perfectly okay! You can always get the help you need. I'd recommend touching base with your school counselor or getting in touch directly with your teacher. They are there to guide you and provide you with the best advice on how to progress. Keep going, you're doing great!
