...thought to myself, why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts....

Clinical Psychiatry Tutoring FAQ
Clinical psychiatry is a course that can contain a great deal of content. Clinical psychiatry covers a variety of information and teaches you how to implement various skills to diagnose and treat major psychiatric problems in several categories, including somatoform, mood, personality, and anxiety disorders, among others. Clinical psychiatry tutoring is centered around customizing tutoring sessions to meet your personal academic goals, learning style, and needs. Clinical psychiatry tutors all have extensive experience helping a variety of students master this demanding subject. Many of the tutors are successful graduate students, medical students, or pursuers of other health professions. Given the massive changes psychiatry is undergoing with the implementation of the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, it is important for students to seek out tutors who are not only knowledgeable and up-to-date, but also tutors who are flexible in what they can teach.
Whatever the scope of your clinical psychiatry coursework, a private tutor may be able to help. Varsity Tutors can assist you in connecting with a tutor who can cover any aspect of psychiatry, including broad topics like mood disorders in depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, psychotic disorders like schizophrenia, addiction, eating disorders, child psychiatry, and sleep disorders. Tutors work to discuss these topics up to the level of detail that falls within the scope of your course. Additionally, tutors often supplement your notes and course materials with the most recent relevant literature and resources regarding psychiatric research.
Tutors have also helped students understand the specifics of psychiatric treatment options, such as mood-altering drugs like tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and mood stabilizers. In addition, tutors are knowledgeable about antipsychotics and psychotherapy. Given the importance of the potentially adverse effects of psychiatric medications, tutors also ensure that you fully understand the possible implications of any prescribed psychiatric treatment, including life-threatening reactions like neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome.
With personalized tutoring sessions, you control the content and pace. Sessions can focus on reviewing content that you struggle with; crafting study outlines and strategies for upcoming midterm or final exams; critiquing and editing papers or study results; or regularly meeting to review recently covered material. You can find a tutor to work alongside you during the year from the day your class begins, or you may choose to find a tutor a few weeks before the final exam. Regardless, your tutor can readily adjust your learning plan to optimally suit your needs.
During each tutoring session, you receive instant feedback to keep you on track. With personalized education, you can take as long as you need to master the subject.

Recent Clinical Psychiatry Tutoring Session Notes
I helped the student study for her AP psych exam. We went through a practice test together and talked through each question and answer. She answered most of the questions correctly and was able to explain most of the terms presented.
The student typed up her observations report. She had notes to work from, but she knew she wouldn't write it without someone sitting with her. I checked it for grammar and word choice, and in the last few minutes she started a Quizlet for the next unit.
The student requested help with her term paper for Research Methods. She and a partner had done a nicely designed experimental study, and she was looking for help with APA style formatting and citation, and with making sure her interpretation of the study results and previous literature were accurate. Also, as an international student, she wanted help making sure that her grammar was up to par. We went over the paper in detail, correcting grammatical mistakes and discussing different ways to interpret and convey the findings of her study.
I returned later in the day for a second session. We continued to work on Spanish grammar and I showed the student how to take notes from her psychology textbook and how to make one review packet per chapter. I told her to spend 5 minutes per chapter explaining to her mom what she learned. She was in good shape.
