Lisa
BA Duke University
10+ Years Tutoring

Lisa's background in history and philosophy — plus her AP Psychology teaching experience — means she approaches the discipline through its intellectual roots, connecting thinkers like William James and Freud to the broader cultural moments that shaped their theories. That historical lens is especially useful for units on personality theory, schools of thought, and the evolution of therapeutic approaches, where understanding *why* an idea emerged matters as much as memorizing what it says. Rated 4.9 by students.

Professor
BA University of California Los Angeles • Non Degree Doctorals, Engineering Design Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
5+ Years Tutoring

Having studied psychology at UCLA alongside her mathematics degree, Professor Florence brings unusual analytical rigor to topics like statistical design in research methods, cognitive biases, and behavioral conditioning paradigms.

Kristina
PhD Washington University in St. Louis • BA Rutgers University (New Brunswick)
7+ Years Tutoring

Because Kristina's neuroscience PhD required deep coursework in behavioral and cognitive psychology, she tackles this subject from the biological side up — explaining how neurotransmitter systems shape learning, memory, and emotion. That grounding makes abstract psychological theories feel concrete, especially in units on sensation, perception, and abnormal behavior. Students preparing for introductory or upper-level psych exams get someone who can connect brain mechanisms to the concepts on the test.

Timothy
MS Duke University • BA Emory University
5+ Years Tutoring

Timothy double-majored in Psychology at Emory as a Faculty Scholar, so he's deeply familiar with the core material — from classical conditioning and cognitive biases to research methodology and statistical analysis. He connects psychological concepts to real-world behavior, which makes dense topics like neurotransmitter pathways or Piaget's developmental stages far easier to internalize and apply on exams.

Rick is currently preparing for a PhD in Psychology, which means he's deep in the material right now — from research methods and statistical design to developmental and cognitive theory. That proximity to the content makes a real difference when unpacking concepts like operant conditioning, cognitive dissonance, or the nuances of DSM diagnostic criteria. He connects psychological principles to everyday behavior in ways that make them intuitive.

Rayhan
BA Duke University
5+ Years Tutoring

Rayhan's premed track at Duke — with minors in both biology and chemistry alongside his history major — means he understands the biological bases of behavior from the science side and the cultural forces shaping human experience from the humanities side. That dual lens is especially useful for unpacking topics like the neuroscience of stress, nature-versus-nurture debates, and how historical context shapes psychological research. Rated 5.0 by students.

Julia
BA Johns Hopkins University

Julia's cellular and molecular biology training turns out to be especially useful when psychology courses dive into the biological bases of behavior — neurotransmitter pathways, brain anatomy, and the genetics of mental illness are places where her science background does the heavy lifting. She also brings strong study skills coaching to the table, teaching students how to organize dense psych terminology and research findings into frameworks they can actually retrieve during exams.

An English degree sharpens one skill that psychology courses quietly depend on: the ability to close-read dense material and build a coherent argument from it.

Austin
BA University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!

Hi! I am a second-year student at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine after earning my bachelor's degree in Biology from Duke University. In high school, I tutored peers in math and science, and in college, I taught STEM subjects to elementary students through an after-school program.

Education has had a tremendous impact on my life, and I look forward to helping students achieve their goals.
