Student Success Coaches are students who have succeeded in many of the same courses you are taking. They offer approachable, judgment-free support and can help you work through questions, assignments and course concepts.
Support for your coursework
Whether you want to talk through a paper, draft a cover letter, understand statistics or research methods, prepare a scholarship application or build stronger study habits, our coaches can help. Students enrolled in foundational and upper-division psychology and neuroscience courses are encouraged to book appointments.
Convenient Zoom appointments
Tutoring appointments are primarily offered on Zoom, with evening and weekend options available. If you prefer to meet in person, include that request when booking your appointment and wait for your coach to confirm the meeting location and time.
Getting started

Frequently asked questions
It's totally free! Visiting the Psychology/Neuroscience Student Success Center won't cost you anything. The Department of Psychology prioritizes student success and has hired tutors to provide this service free of charge you and your peers.
Book "writing support" for general help in writing CV's, cover letters and scholarship applications. This is a great option if you have a smaller task or a quick question about your writing assignment. This session can be booked to help answer general questions about your success inside and outside of ASU, too.
"Psychology course support" caters to specific class needs in the field of psychology. For instance, If you need help studying for an exam, this is the session we advise booking!
Reserve "statistics support" for assistance in understanding statistical content and research methods.
"Neuroscience course support" pairs you with a Student Success Coach who can help answer your neuroscience questions. For example, if the homework for NEU 290 isn't making sense, secure this appointment type.
Our team of Student Success Coaches are students, too. They need time to study for classes and relax in between their tutoring sessions, so we've limited their individual availability to 10 hours a week.
If you believe the Psychology/Neuroscience Student Success Center could benefit from additional Student Success Coaches, please provide that feedback! A survey will be emailed out to you after each tutoring session.
First, refer to the online booking system to see when a coach may next be available. Remember to plan for the future. Check syllabi for upcoming tests and project deadlines and secure you appointment in advance. It’s easy to cancel later if you decide you no longer need the support.
Never. Our coaches are here to help you with all levels of questions.
We primarily meet with students via Zoom and do not have a physical office space. If you'd like to meet your coach in person, advanced notice must be requested in the online booking system. Wait for your coach to follow-up with you in email and confirm a physical meeting space for your session.
