Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Are you interested in a specific topic within psychology? Your curiosity will drive our lessons. In this one-on-one class, learners will choose topics to study in depth with me.

Psychology is a big field, so we have many different options. Here's a few suggestions:

- Abnormal psychology (disorders)
- Forensic psychology (criminal behavior)
- Personality psychology (unique differences between people)
- Social psychology (how we relate to other people)
- Developmental psychology (how people change or stay the same over time)
- Designing a research study (this is especially important if you want to go to graduate school)

No prior knowledge of psychology is needed.
Learning Goals
Students will gain in-depth knowledge of a single topic in psychology, practice critical thinking, and conversation skills.
