Doctor of Developmental Psychology

Dr. Khatera Aziz Bahrami B.

I hold a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology and a Master’s degree in Health Psychology, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. My academic training provides a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, learning, and development, which allows me to effectively tutor psychology at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels, including AP Psychology and both introductory and advanced coursework. Through my education, I have developed strong analytical, research, and communication skills that help me explain complex psychological concepts in a clear and accessible way.

I have several years of experience working with students as a substitute teacher, where I provided both one-on-one and small group instruction across a range of grade levels. In this role, I supported diverse learners, adapted to different learning styles, and helped students build confidence in their academic abilities. In addition, my experience as a research technician at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus involved supporting multiple research groups, where I assisted with problem-solving and helped communicate complex ideas clearly. This experience strengthened my ability to break down challenging concepts, guide students step-by-step, and encourage critical thinking.

As a tutor, I use a student-centered approach and tailor each session to the individual’s needs, goals, and learning style. I focus on breaking down challenging material into manageable steps, reinforcing key concepts, and helping students apply what they learn to real-world situations. What sets me apart is my combination of advanced academic training, research experience, and hands-on work with students across different learning environments. I strive to create a supportive and engaging space where students feel comfortable asking questions, stay motivated, and develop the skills needed for long-term academic success.
