Robert
Certified Psychology Tutor
Robert
MS Arizona State University • BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

There's a big difference between memorizing Piaget's stages and actually understanding how developmental theory connects to research methods, abnormal behavior, and cognition. Robert is completing his M.S. in Psychology while running his own research projects and preparing publications, so he teaches the subject as a working scientist — not just from a textbook. He unpacks concepts like operant conditioning or statistical significance using real experimental examples from his own lab experience.

Holding a bachelor's degree in psychology, Niabari digs into the subject with real depth — whether that's distinguishing classical from operant conditioning, unpacking research methodology, or explaining the biological basis of memory.

Rachelle
BA Arizona State University • Juris Doctor, N/A Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law
14+ Years Tutoring

Philosophy majors spend years dissecting how humans construct knowledge, justify beliefs, and reason through moral dilemmas — questions that sit at the foundation of psychological theories on cognition, moral development, and decision-making. Rachelle's Summa Cum Laude philosophy degree from Arizona State sharpened exactly that kind of analytical thinking, and her legal training adds a layer of rigor when it comes to evaluating research claims and constructing evidence-based arguments on psych assessments.

Kristin
MS University of Pennsylvania • BA University of Chicago
9+ Years Tutoring

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.
