Neuropsychology requires a knowledge of major brain structures and their functions. Neuropsychology tutoring gives the student the opportunity to work one-on-one with an academic professional to memorize each structure. Working with a tutor will also keep the student focused on the material that they are struggling with rather than the information they are comfortable with. A neuropsychology course oftentimes involves reading advanced research articles. A tutor can assist with critiquing articles and pulling out major points a student may have missed on their own. Working with a neuropsychology tutor allows the student to receive a second opinion on the content and get clarification on any information they do not understand.
