Tutor Information
About
Hi! I'm Katie, and I teach psychology, biology, and neuroscience here on TutorOcean and Upwork. I offer free 15 minute sessions if you want to try me out.
Where did you go to school?
I'm getting my master's in psychology at Georgia Southern with an experimental focus (GPA= 3.9). My undergrad is from Georgia State University, where I received a B.S in Psychology and a minor in neuroscience (GPA =3.9).
Do you have any teaching experience?
Currently at Georgia Southern, I teach a biomechanical analysis of movement lab course. The course is a bit outside my major, but the lab is mostly teaching students how to use excel to make graphs, something I had experience with from my undergrad stats classes.
I have also shadowed a introductory psychology class at Georgia southern, where I helped run study sessions before every exam, and assisted the professor in class with student questions, assignment handouts, and classroom management.
When I was at Georgia State, I was a an SI Leader, which is a type of undergrad TA for courses with a higher than average fail rate. I ran twice a week additional lecture sections for Introductory Biology students for two semesters.
Wait, you said neuroscience?
Psychology is my major, so it is what I am most qualified for, but I have taken 15 credit hours of neuroscience classes at Georgia State to get my minor in neuroscience. I cannot tutor you on higher level neuroscience classes, but intro to neuroscience, principles of neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and drugs and behavior are courses I am qualified to teach.
What psychology courses can you teach?
The full list is below (As I could not fit them all here), but most common psychology undergrad classes.
What about biology?
I would only feel qualified to teach AP Biology or freshmen introductory biology. I took 5 biology classes in undergrad, but I'm not an expert by any means.

I was a Mediator for Hooked: When Want Becomes Need, Science Gallery Altanta's first exhibition. I was also a mediator for Justice, the second exhibition. My duties included talking to guests about the exhibits and helping to educate the public about the intersectionality of justice topics. For example, one of our exhibits was about environmental racism, or how city planners and companies are able to push landfills, power plants, and other sources of air pollution into majority black communities.
