Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My process is getting to know a new student with a conversation, their learning goals and known strategies that they know to work for themselves. The general conversation often serves as a self assessment for why they are looking for a tutor. Then I begin my own professional assessment of their goals and begin a flexible learning plan outline tailored to their specific needs.

My Formal Education includes:
B.S. in Psychology - University of Georgia
