Why is using my lecture and online resources not enough?
Large college lectures and online resources both allow for widespread access to the material. However, the trade-off is the lack of individual attention. Additionally, these methods limit the ability of students to ask questions, requiring the learning to be passive.

Our fantastic tutors are well versed in working with students individually and optimizing their learning of the material through various active learning strategies.

Here are some tips from our Psychology experts:
Look at the material through a certain lens: Psychology is splintered into many different subfields. Most of these different fields view similar concepts through different lenses, or from a different perspective. When studying for psychology courses, make sure to keep in mind what perspective your course is coming from in order to focus on the correct emphasis and understand the material from the correct view. See below for a few subfield examples.
Make associations: Psychology concepts rarely stand on their own. Try to make some word clouds or association centered study tools for yourself! This also gives an added benefit: the more you work with the material, the better you will know it.
Real life examples: Psychology is the study of the human mind and behaviors, so it is meant to be applied to your real life. These connections will allow you to remember the material better, separate similar concepts, and make more sense of them! For example, in your abnormal psychology course, try to identify fictional characters that may have certain mental illnesses (ex. Michael Scott of The Office with histrionic personality disorder, Riley from Inside Out facing depression, etc.) to better contextualize your new knowledge.
Talk about the material: Psychology is meant to be studied differently than other courses. Explaining the material to others will help show you if you really know the material inside and out and can apply it without simply restating your lecture slides. Try explaining your psychology topics to your friends, classmates, relatives, or tutor!
Be present during lecture: This tip goes for ALL courses! One of the most underused strategies for learning college material is being present during lectures. Challenge yourself to put away your phone, minimize distractions, take notes, and review the material shortly after lecture so find any places of confusion or what you would like to focus your studying on!
Utilize many different resources: Having a tutor is just one tool in your toolbox! Utilize your lecture, office hours, tutor, as well as common online resources.
CrashCourse for AP Psychology by Hank Green
Introduction to Psychology/General Psychology:
General psychology is the most widespread view of psychology. It focuses on the most important and foundational concepts, theories, and research that is applied to how the human mind functions and how it influences human behavior, thoughts, and emotions.
Psychology Research Methods, Statistics, and Analysis:
Psychology research methods, statistics, and analysis all focus on how psychology research is performed. You will learn the most common types of psychological experiment types, as well as how to analyze and interpret the results. This focus may be broken up into a few different courses depending on your university.
Behavioral Psychology:
Behavioral psychology is a field that studies more in-depth views on how the human mind influences and drives behavior, as well as how we can predict and even modify human behavior. These courses may focus on topics such as behavioral conditioning or cognitive behavioral therapy.
Clinical/Abnormal Psychology:
Clinical/Abnormal Psychology is the study of abnormal human behavior, often focusing on how these behaviors manifest as mental illness. Within this course, you will learn about mental illness symptoms, diagnosis, causes, and treatments.
Cognitive Psychology:
Cognitive psychology is the branch of psychology that focuses on how the human mind forms thoughts, learns, and stores memories. These courses may focus on perception, decision making, memory, or attention.
Developmental Psychology:
Developmental psychology is the study of child and adolescent development with a focus on how thoughts, behaviors, and perceptions change as infants and children grow up. Common topics may include how parenting styles and early childhood experiences affect a child’s mind, how language and motor skills develop, and how different stages are viewed by various psychologists such as Erik Erikson and Sigmund Freud. Many other majors include requirements for this course, including Education, as teachers need to understand adolescent development to work with and for their students.
Gender and Sexuality Psychology:
Gender and Sexuality psychology is the subfield of psychology that focuses on gender and sexuality, viewing its behavioral, cultural, cognitive, and social impacts.
Psychobiology:
Psychobiology is the subfield of psychology that complements neuroscience. These courses focus on the relationship between psychological processes and their underlying physiologic mechanisms. Commonly this course will begin investigating neuroanatomy and connecting which parts of the brain are utilized during certain behaviors, cognitions, or emotions.
Social Psychology:
Social psychology is the subfield of psychology that studies how individuals fit into society, social interactions, social roles, and group behavior.
