I've spent the past eight years teaching AP Psychology, and memory is still my favourite topic to cover. Students often mix up encoding, storage and retrieval, so I use small experiments during lessons to show how each works. I also spend time on research methods, particularly identifying variables and evaluating studies. Closer to the exam, we work through released questions and discuss what a complete answer actually needs.

Hi! I've been tutoring AP Psychology for three years, mostly with students who find the amount of terminology a bit ridiculous at first. I like using everyday examples, especially for conditioning and social influence. We might look at why people follow trends or how habits develop before getting into the textbook definitions. I keep lessons fairly relaxed, but I'm quite particular about how students explain their answers on practice papers.

My background is in cognitive neuroscience, and I've tutored AP Psychology for six years. I particularly enjoy teaching the biological bases of behaviour, including brain structures, neurotransmitters and the nervous system. These topics can become confusing when students try to memorise everything separately. I use labelled diagrams and short recall exercises to help them understand how the different systems work together.

Psychology was the subject I enjoyed most at school, so getting to teach AP Psychology now is a nice change from sitting through those exams myself! I've worked with students for about two years, including several who were studying independently. My lessons usually involve plenty of questions rather than long explanations. Personality theories are especially fun to discuss, although I always bring the conversation back to what the exam expects.

For eleven years, I have worked with secondary students studying psychology, with the last seven focused on AP Psychology. My particular interest is developmental psychology and how students interpret findings from classic studies. I place considerable emphasis on experimental design and evidence-based explanations. Lessons normally include a review of previous material followed by targeted practice with multiple-choice and free-response questions.

I came into tutoring after working as a research assistant, where I spent a lot of time looking at how people make decisions. These days I teach AP Psychology online and have done so for four years. Students tend to enjoy our discussions about cognitive biases and why eyewitness memories aren't always reliable. I also help with the less exciting bits, like reading graphs and spotting flaws in experiments, which can make a real difference on exam questions.
