Students who are enrolled in the foundational courses (PSY 101, 230, 290) and upper-division courses are encouraged to come and master new skills with the instruction of our Student Success Coaches.

Hi everyone! My name is Gemma and I'm a junior at Barrett, the Honors College, majoring in Psychology with minors in Sociology and Anthropology. I also work as a research assistant in the Emerging Minds Lab, a developmental psychology lab here on campus that studies young children and infants. I am a TA for Dr. C's PSY 101 (Intro to Psychology) and PSY 366 (Abnormal Psychology) classes this semester, so I am very comfortable tutoring students in those courses, as well as Research Methods, Social Psychology, Introduction to Statistics, Abnormal Child Psychology, Intro to Cognitive Neuroscience, Memory and Cognition, the Psychology of Love and Intimacy, and more! Also, as an honors student, I'm happy to help generate ideas to fulfill honors credit through your psychology courses.
