I majored in Psychology in college, with a focus on neuroscience. I then spent three year in Northwestern University's neuroscience PhD program (NUIN), before deciding primary lab research wasn't my preferred career. I have since taught basic neuroscience multiple times in AP Psychology courses.

4 Psychology lessons

She is a very nice and patient tutor who knows her Psychology information well. She can teach the concepts my professor taught in lectures in a way that is easy to understand and process. Since having her as my primary tutor for Psychology, I have been able to apply what she has taught me during our lessons in my assignments. As a result, I have been getting better grades and a deeper appreciation for Psychology. I recommend having her as your Psychology tutor.
Nena M.

3 Psychology lessons

I had two lessons with Sophia for my psychology class and I was astonished by her ability to explain, analyze and justify. The speed of her intuition gives the impression that she possesses encyclopedic information in psychology. One hour's lecture with Sophia saves you from 5 hours of reading. She is very patient. If there was a rating of more than five stars, I would give it to her without hesitation. I recommend students benefit from her wonderful lectures in psychology.
