About
I incorporate applied psychology principles and the Socratic method into my tutoring and teaching. Making sure the student understands the material taught is critical for them to do well in the subject. I do believe that every student is different and how the sessions are conducted may vary. For example, some students may need to change environments or have breaks. Being aware of a student learning style will also dictate how I tutor. I may bring a whiteboard for more visual learners, I might read out loud to the student and have the student repeat what was spoken in the own words, and lastly, have the students connect to the lesson.
I enjoy connecting with the students and seeing them grow. Being able to watch a student's confidence in themselves and feeling they can rely solely on themselves to succeed in the subject is a great feeling, knowing I helped them.

I have my associates in general studies and currently studying English at CSULB. I will be obtaining my bachelor of arts in the spring.
