Neuroscience Tutoring FAQ
A few short years ago, college-level neuroscience programs were few and far between. Today, the study of the brain is one of the most popular majors around! You don't have to be a neuroscience scholar to recognize the importance of understanding your own consciousness. Even fields that appear to have nothing in common are tied together by the intricate thought processes that they involve.
Unfortunately, with such a broad subject, getting academic help can seem almost impossible. Let's say you are enrolled in a neuroscience class. If you're having trouble understanding hypothalamic control of pituitary hormones, you can find a biology tutor. If you want to understand the molecular difference between serotonin and dopamine, a friend who's a chemistry expert will be happy to help. But what if you have a question about neurons? Or if you just can't grasp the receptive fields of the visual cortex? Whether if your problem is with a basic concept or a more advanced topic, you can find the help you need to ensure that learning the subject goes a lot smoother.
Varsity Tutors can help you to connect with neuroscience tutors across the United States who can cover the entire range of topics. Many tutors hold neuroscience degrees or are current neuroscience majors. Each of them are talented at explaining difficult neuroscience concepts to their students in ways that make those concepts seem easy to grasp. With their personal instruction, you'll have a single source for all of your brain-related questions! We will help you select the best candidate from a pool of experienced tutors. Together, you can schedule sessions at times that fit into your busy life. Your tutor will start by assessing your current understanding of neuroscience and your learning style. From there, your sessions will be customized around your needs and abilities. For example, if you are a hands-on person, they may explain concepts by working with physical items and visual aids.
Your tutoring experience will be enhanced by the one-on-one approach. Your neuroscience tutor will be attuned to your needs. He or she can help you identify areas that need the most work. You will be pleasantly surprised by the progress that you can make when working with an experienced tutor who can clarify all of the concepts that confuse you most and provide constant feedback as you study. In addition, your tutor can provide tips and suggestions that can make it easier to retain the information that you need to know.
Plus, tutoring doesn't have to be inconvenient. In addition to dictating your session frequency and duration, you can pick the location where you want to work! If you can only meet on Friday mornings at your local library or on Thursday nights at home, your tutor can accommodate you. Regardless if you are working a job, going to school, or raising a family, you and your tutor can work together to create a schedule that work best for you. In fact, many tutors are able to provide online sessions. Though not everyone is suited to online learning, it can provide a convenient alternative for those who are strapped for time. These are similar to physical face-to-face sessions and involve gaining valuable feedback, using suitable learning materials, and interacting with your tutor on a personal level.
No matter where you live in the U.S., you can start your neuroscience tutoring by calling Varsity Tutors today. We'll help you find the perfect tutor to guide you through this challenging and important field.

Recent Neuroscience Tutoring Session Notes
The student and I reviewed organ systems, cellular structure, photosynthesis, and Mendelian inheritance. We worked on some sample questions, and also discussed her current in-class assignment of fetal pig dissection.
The student and I worked on basic ecology concepts: structure of ecosystems, food chains, energy flow, types of predator prey relationships, nutrient and element cycles , etc. Overall she's doing quite well and seems to understand all the concepts.
Today we studied about the human nervous system. We studied the two main systems, the anatomy of nerve cells, and the types of receptors that make up the nervous system. The student currently has an A in the class and the goal is to ensure that he keeps this A.
The student was studying the immune system this week. She reported excellent grades on her last couple of quizzes and tests. This week, I worked with her on covering the body's responses to an antigen, humoric versus cell-mediated, and primary vs secondary responses. We had a long discussion about HIV and the reasons why it is so problematic for the immune system. We went over her pre-lab for this week and discussed new techniques for creating vaccines targeted towards rapidly mutating retroviruses like HIV.
The student had her final biology exam of the semester coming up. During this session, I helped her to review Chapter 54 in her textbook, covering concepts related to community ecology. As usual, she and I drew heavily upon diagrams and graphs in her class notes and textbook to review in depth any concepts about which she felt less confident. We also focused upon categorizing the many definitions found in this chapter in order to better elucidate their differences and relations to one another, for example: mutualism vs. facilitation.
Today we covered the entire chapter on Evolution and its related topics. She had gotten an 87% on her last exam, and she's very pleased. I suggested to her to use flash cards for the vocabulary and the other concepts of evolution, and to go over the chapter review at the end of the unit.
