Tutors for Psychology & Neuroscience Classes
Psi Chi maintains a list of the names of students who serve as FREE tutors for psychology & neuroscience classes. Volunteers must verify that they earned an A grade in the class they are hoping to tutor.
 Before you contact Psi Chi - or meet with any tutor - we encourage you to:
Consult with your professor or assistant instructor about how you are approaching the class. Before you meet with a tutor - or after you've met with a tutor a few times - go talk to your professor or the teaching assistant to assess whether the work you are doing on your own and with your tutor is likely to really help.
Remember - your time with a tutor is not a substitute for regular class attendance, completing assignments, studying an adequate amount of time each week on your own, and asking questions during class or during office hours.
Ask lots of questions of any potential tutor, including:
- What will we do together when we meet?
- What do you recommend I do to prepare for our sessions?
- What do you think is the best way to study for this class?
- How often do you suggest we meet?
- What are the days & times you are available this semester?
- How many students have you tutored for this course in the past?
- Can you provide me with the name & email of students you've tutored for this course?

You can contact Psi Chi to request a tutor or to offer to serve as a tutor by:
- Visiting their tutoring webpage.
- Emailing psichi [at] indiana.edu. If you email, include the class name & number for which you want a tutor. Also, tell them the name of the professor who is teaching your section -- they may be able to match you with a tutor who took the class with the same professor.
