College Neuroscience Tutoring
Get Connected to a Great Neuroscience Tutor Today
Neuroscience is an exciting and fast-growing field—one of the latest majors to be developed at most universities. Due to its recency, this major allows for many exciting challenges, such as newer courses, newer faculty, and even brand new research being studied in your courses. In addition to these challenges, you are attempting to understand the most complex organ and organ system of the human body: the brain and its nervous system. This alone is quite a feat, and then it is accented by all of the other responsibilities of a college student. If you find that you are not reaching your goals, we can help! We provide students with tutors who will not only help you to understand the material, but also how best to study for exams and dissect neuroscience research articles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Tutoring By A College Professor?
Neuroscience courses are not easy! They combine anatomy, physiology, biology, psychology, statistics, and more into one course. Neuroscience examines the brain and nervous systems from the molecular level all the way to the system-wide level, and none of the material is anything like what you saw in high school. This is why receiving help outside of your course is so important! Our tutors are the best at ensuring that students fully understand the material that they are learning. We will meet you where you are in your understanding and correct any misconceptions. Our one-on-one individualized tutoring is paramount in order to ensure that you are receiving the best personalized and efficient tutoring to reach your goals! Please call 614-264-1110 today for a free consultation and sign up now.
Why is using my lecture and online resources not enough?
Large college lectures and online resources both allow for widespread access to the material. However, the trade-off is the lack of individual attention. Additionally, these resources require passive learning and thus limit the ability of students to ask questions. Tutoring By A College Professor utilizes active learning, creating the space for tutors to provide clarity on nuanced concepts. Our fantastic tutors are well versed in working with students individually and optimizing their learning of the material through various active learning strategies.
How are tutoring sessions conducted?
Tutoring sessions are online on Zoom. You can receive tutoring from the comfort of home or the bustle of a coffee shop. It’s up to you.
How long are most tutoring sessions?
Students typically tutor in 1 hour increments, but sessions can run as long as you need.
What if I need an emergency tutoring session for a test tomorrow?
Don’t hesitate to call us at 614-264-1110. We can have you connected with a tutor today to begin scheduling.

A Guide to Neuroscience Courses:
Introduction to Neuroscience
Introduction to Neuroscience courses tend to focus on the introductory topics for all areas of neuroscience! You will get a small taste of behavioral, cognitive, cellular, and structural neuroscience. See below for common topics in these areas:
Behavioral Neuroscience
Behavioral Neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that examines how the nervous system specifically influences and dictates behavior. This branch focuses on what parts of the brain are responsible for which behaviors, how psychiatric and neurological disorders are related to the brain and its physiology, and how these systems can be influenced and modified. This field is very closely tied to psychobiology, and specific courses will focus on different topics within this broad field! Some topics may include: emotions and regulation, eating regulation, motivation and reward, and addiction.
Cognitive Neuroscience
Cognitive Neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that examines how the nervous system allows for cognition to occur and what neural pathways in the brain are utilized for various cognitive pathways. This branch focuses on where in the brain certain cognitions originate and where they can be modified. Common topics include: attention, thoughts, language, sensation and perception, memory, learning, and many more!
Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience
Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that examines basic physiologic processes of neurons and glial cells in the nervous system. This branch focuses on the microscopic level of neuroscience such as how neurons interact with one another, how the parts of the neuron (axons, dendrites, synaptic clefts) function and influence our nervous system’s ability to function. Common topics include: neuron anatomy and physiology, glial cells, neurotransmitters, synapses, and action potentials.
Structural/Systems Neuroscience
Structural/Systems Neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that examines the nervous system from a large-scale view. This branch focuses on how the nervous system functions overall, what each part of the nervous system contributes to the overall function, and how all of these systems/pathways interact with one another. Common topics include: neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, the spinal cord, movement neural pathways, imaging of the brain, and many more systems!
Clinical Neuroscience
Clinical Neuroscience is the branch of neuroscience that examines disorders that can develop in the nervous system, whether psychiatric or neurological. This branch focuses on the origin, pathophysiology, genetics, epidemiology, and treatment of nervous system disorders. Common neurologic disorders studied include: dementias (Alzheimer's, Lewy body, frontotemporal), movement disorders (ALS, Parkinsons, tremors), spinal cord injuries, strokes, brain tumors, seizures, and many more! Common psychiatric disorders studied include: addiction, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, and many more!
