  • Why do grades slip in psychology?

    The content is easy to read, hard to apply. Most students can recite what the amygdala does. Points are lost on the questions that hand them a new scenario: name the variables in an unfamiliar study, spot the confounding variable, or explain which part of the nervous system responds first. Research methods run through every AP and class exam, and a full class rarely gets to practice them one student at a time.

  • What happens in the first lesson?

    Their current topic, then a real question. The tutor starts with whatever the class is on this week, such as the stress response or models of memory. The student explains it in their own words, then answers a past AP free-response question built around a study they have never seen. That evening the parent app has a report on what held up, what did not, and the plan for the next test.

  • When do the results move?

    Usually at the next test. 98% of students report a lift in confidence after five lessons. Grades tend to show at the next test, which in high school psychology might be a unit test, a research project or an AP practice exam. Lessons run weekly through the semester, and the account manager checks progress with you along the way.

Find a psychology tutor

How much does a psychology tutor cost?

Private 1-on-1 psychology tutoring is one rate at every grade level, the same in 10th grade as in 12th grade. No contracts, no sign-up fee, and you pay after each lesson. Tell us the grade level and we will send a quote.

The hourly rate includes matching with a tutor who knows the student's course, a dedicated account manager, a written report after every lesson in the parent app and free tutor changes if the fit is not right.

What does a psychology tutor cover in high school?

Tutors work to the student's own course: high school Psychology electives, AP Psychology, IB Psychology at SL and HL, and dual enrollment psychology courses.

Lessons cover the nervous system and the stress response, classical and operant conditioning, models of memory, sleep, mental health and research methods: variables, hypotheses, sampling, ethics and data analysis. Students also practice short answers and the AP free-response questions.

Is online psychology tutoring effective?

Each lesson is one student and one tutor, live, on an interactive whiteboard where they can map out the nervous system, label a study's variables and grade practice answers together. The student keeps the same tutor each week, so the tutor knows which unit is next and how the next test will be graded.

The first change most parents notice is confidence: 98% of students report a lift in confidence after five lessons. Grades follow at the next test, because every lesson is planned around the student's own course and test dates.

How is a psychology tutor matched to a student?

After a short quiz, an account manager calls to ask about the student's grade level, course, upcoming tests and how they like to learn. The tutor is then chosen for that course and for personality fit, from the top 2% of applicants to Tutero.

In the first lesson the tutor works through the current topic, finds where points are being lost and sets goals for the semester. If the match is not right, a new tutor is free.

How does a tutor help with AP Psychology research methods and the exam?

Research methods questions follow a pattern the student can learn: identify the independent and dependent variables, write a hypothesis that names both and the population, then explain what could confound the result. Tutors set new study scenarios each week, the student answers, and the tutor scores it against the AP rubric.

Closer to the exam, lessons move to past free-response questions, including the article analysis and evidence-based questions, timed multiple choice and a review plan that covers every unit.

Who are Tutero's psychology tutors?

Tutero's psychology tutors are chosen from the top 2% of applicants, and each student is matched with a tutor who knows their course, such as AP Psychology or IB Psychology. Four tutors are introduced on this page. The full team is on the Our Tutors page, with each tutor's subjects, university and background.

Where is Tutero's psychology tutoring available?

Anywhere in the United States with an internet connection. A 12th grader in a small town has the same choice of psychology tutors as one in a big city, with lessons on weekdays, evenings and weekends.

There are dedicated pages for tutoring in Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, New York and Dallas, and for Florida, Texas, California, New York and Virginia.

How do we get started?

Submit a request with the student's grade level and course, and the team will match them with a psychology tutor. Most families start with one lesson a week, timed around test dates. The first lesson comes with a money-back guarantee. If it is not the right fit, you do not pay for it.
