Award-Winning Psychology Tutors
serving Canton, OH

An English major at Penn with a minor in art history, Amy approaches psychology's reading-heavy coursework — interpreting research studies, parsing theoretical arguments, building structured essay responses — with the same close-reading instincts she applies to literature. She's particularly effective at teaching students how to break down the language of psychological studies and translate dense findings into clear, well-organized written analysis.

I am an upbeat and patient tutor. I like to make learning as fun as possible, and I'm constantly learning new things.

Amanda earned her B.A. in Psychology from Kent State, so she brings genuine depth to topics like developmental theory, research methods, and the biological bases of behavior. She approaches the subject as both a former psych major who loved the content and a trained educator who knows how to make dense concepts — classical conditioning, cognitive biases, abnormal psych classifications — actually stick.

Studying psychology alongside neuroscience and medical coursework gives Sanjul a layered understanding of how biological mechanisms map onto psychological concepts — from neurotransmitter pathways in mood disorders to the social determinants that shape behavior. He breaks down theories by connecting them to real clinical examples that make abstract frameworks concrete. Rated 5.0 by students.

Few tutors know psychology from both the textbook side and the lab bench. Josh earned his B.S. in Behavioral Neuroscience and went on to pursue a PhD in Neuroscience at Ohio State, so he can explain concepts like classical conditioning, cognitive development, or synaptic plasticity with the kind of mechanistic depth that makes them stick. Whether a student is tackling AP Psych or an introductory college course, he connects psychological theories to their biological underpinnings.

A neuroscience degree is essentially half psychology — Catherine studied the biological underpinnings of behavior, cognition, and mental health at Ohio State before entering medical school. She unpacks concepts like classical conditioning, neural plasticity, and abnormal psych with real clinical context that makes textbook definitions click. Now a medical student, she brings current knowledge of brain-behavior relationships that goes well beyond an introductory psych course.

William earned his B.S. in Psychology with plans to pursue a PhD in Neuropsychology, so he's deeply familiar with the discipline from introductory concepts like classical conditioning through upper-level material on brain-behavior relationships. He unpacks research design, psychological disorders, and cognitive theory in ways that connect textbook definitions to real clinical and experimental contexts.

Because exercise science sits at the intersection of biology and behavioral science, Nikolas covered core psychology topics — learning theory, motivation, stress response, and neuropsychology — as part of his Ohio State coursework. He explains concepts like classical conditioning or the biopsychosocial model by tying them to real physiological processes, which makes the material stick for students preparing for AP Psych or introductory college courses.

Susie minored in psychology at Swarthmore, giving her grounding in everything from classical conditioning and cognitive development to research methodology and statistical design. She connects psychological concepts to their biological underpinnings — neurotransmitter pathways, brain structures, hormonal regulation — which makes the material stick for students preparing for AP exams or introductory college courses.

Studying psychology herself at the college level, Lauren knows firsthand which concepts trip students up — from classical vs. operant conditioning to the nuances of research methodology and experimental design. She unpacks dense textbook language into concrete examples, connecting theories like Piaget's developmental stages or the biopsychosocial model to real scenarios students can actually remember.

Preparing for medical school gave Nathan deep exposure to psychology's biological underpinnings — neurotransmitter pathways, the stress response, and how brain structure connects to behavior. He breaks down concepts like classical conditioning, cognitive development, and psychological disorders by tying them back to the biology that makes them click.

The trickiest part of introductory psychology isn't memorizing Pavlov's dogs — it's distinguishing between concepts that sound alike, like negative reinforcement versus punishment, or correlation versus causation. Anna breaks down these distinctions with real-world examples and teaches students to think like researchers evaluating experimental design. Her interdisciplinary background across anthropology and psychology gives her a wide frame for connecting theories to human behavior.

I am a seasoned educator with over 14 years of teaching experience. I currently am a middle school principal but have taught grades 3-college. I am no stranger to Common Core and can help students master material with tried and true strategies!

Anna is pursuing a psychology minor at Case Western Reserve alongside her biology degree, so she's actively immersed in topics like cognition, behavioral theory, and research methods. That dual science background lets her explain the biological underpinnings behind psychological concepts — connecting neurotransmitter pathways to mood disorders, or linking brain anatomy to memory formation — in a way that makes the material click.

I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!

I am currently a P1 pharmacy student. I have had numerous opportunities to tutor students of various ages primarily in subjects that pertain to my program of study, especially chemistry. Throughout my years of study, I have come to the realization that only after meticulous examination of all the possible scenarios and exceptions of a particular phenomenon can we recognize patterns that may have facilitated our initial attempt to understand it in the first place. As a tutor, I hope to serve as a guide that aids students in discerning such patterns and integrating concepts to achieve a thorough and holistic understanding of the subject being studied. Besides tutoring, I enjoy playing the piano and cello, biking, and reading.

I am currently in my second year of medical school. Because of my diverse academic background, I am able to tutor in a wide range of topics, from Economics and math to Russian and ACT prep.

I am studying Spanish in Mexico after two years teaching English in Guadeloupe, France to sharpen my foreign language skills and ESL teaching capabilities in preparation for multilingual and multicultural educational spaces. Upon my return to the United States, I will pursue my teaching license in secondary history. Thus, I am passionate about teaching History, English, and French. I also excel at teaching and academic writing. In addition to my experience guiding students in traditional classrooms, I have taught yoga for the past two years. This has involved planning classes for large groups in addition to providing personal assists to students throughout their practice. With my experience teaching others in both the traditional academic classroom and the nontraditional yoga classroom, I have learned there is no better way to assist others in their growth than meeting individuals exactly where they are. As a result, my teaching and tutoring styles are designed to capitalize upon what students already know so that they may build upon said knowledge and achieve more. Further, my teaching and tutoring are based on our humanity as people and thus there is plenty of conversation, inquiry, and room for mistakes. I believe education is an opportunity for creating possibilities, and as such I couldn't be more grateful to help others imagine their future possibilities.

As a sociology and anthropology major studying medicine, health, and society, Lisa lives at the intersection of the social and behavioral sciences that psychology draws from. She digs into concepts like classical conditioning, cognitive development, and social influence by linking them to real-world examples students can actually remember. For AP Psych or introductory college courses, she's especially effective at teaching students to distinguish between similar-sounding theories — Piaget vs. Vygotsky, for instance — without just relying on flashcards.

Understanding psychology means connecting behavior to biology — why SSRIs affect serotonin reuptake, how the limbic system drives emotional responses, or what split-brain studies actually reveal about consciousness. Rithi studied neuroscience at the undergraduate level and now applies that knowledge as a medical student, giving her a concrete, science-grounded way of teaching psychological concepts that sticks.

Having studied both biological sciences and philosophy at the University of Chicago, Kristin approaches psychology from two angles most tutors can only cover one at a time — the neural and biological underpinnings of behavior, and the deeper questions about consciousness, free will, and moral reasoning that philosophy-heavy psych units explore. Her nursing training adds a clinical dimension to topics like stress response, psychopharmacology, and abnormal behavior that keeps the material grounded in how these concepts actually play out in real patients. Rated 5.0 by students.

A UChicago psychology degree means Sherry didn't just survey the field — she dug into research methodology, statistical reasoning, and the theoretical debates behind concepts like classical conditioning, cognitive dissonance, and attachment theory. Now pursuing graduate work at Columbia, she brings both academic depth and practical teaching experience to topics ranging from abnormal psychology to social cognition.

Neuroscience and psychology share a border, and Jhonatan lives right on it — his biology specialization in neuroscience means he can unpack the biological underpinnings behind concepts like classical conditioning, memory formation, and psychopharmacology with real depth. For students in introductory or AP Psychology, he connects abstract theories to the neural mechanisms that make them concrete and easier to retain.

Studying Human and Organizational Development at Vanderbilt means Zac lives in the overlap between psychology and real-world behavior — motivation theory, group dynamics, cognitive biases. He breaks down concepts like operant conditioning or Piaget's stages by connecting them to everyday situations students already recognize, making retention far more natural than rote flashcard review.

Mati's doctoral research focused on learning disabilities and their intersection with student behavior and development, giving her a practical grounding in psychological concepts that goes well beyond a textbook overview. She unpacks topics like cognitive development, abnormal psychology, and research methods by connecting them to real clinical and educational scenarios students can actually picture.

Studying both economics and cancer biology at UChicago gives Jessica an unusual lens on psychology — she understands the subject from both the behavioral-science side and the biological-mechanisms side. Whether a student is sorting through classical conditioning paradigms or trying to remember the difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, she connects abstract concepts to concrete examples that stick.

A Princeton English major might not scream psychology, but Jane's deep training in close reading and argument analysis translates directly to the discipline's research-heavy coursework — picking apart study designs, identifying flawed reasoning, and writing the kind of precise, evidence-backed responses that psych exams reward. Her 34 ACT and study-strategy background also mean she can teach students how to efficiently retain dense terminology like the DSM classifications or Piaget's stages without resorting to brute-force memorization. Rated 5.0 by students.

Reporting for a trade magazine means Meghan spends her days interviewing people, reading their motivations, and figuring out why they make the decisions they do — skills that map directly onto psychology's core questions about behavior, cognition, and social influence. Her Northwestern journalism training emphasized research methodology and evidence evaluation, which translates well to unpacking psychological studies and writing the kind of analysis that psych courses grade on. Rated 5.0 by students.

Studying psychology with someone who's living it changes the experience entirely. Martha is a social psychology PhD student at Michigan whose research on culture and self-related processes spans the same territory covered in introductory and intermediate psych courses — from research design and statistical reasoning to theories of identity, motivation, and group behavior. She connects textbook concepts to current studies so the material feels relevant rather than abstract.

Nicole earned her bachelor's in psychology from Washington University in St. Louis, one of the top-ranked programs in the country. She digs into everything from classical conditioning and memory models to research methods and statistical reasoning — the concepts that trip students up most in intro and AP Psych courses.
