About
I am a current doctoral student in Social/Personality Psychology. I graduated in May 2019 with a Bachelor's in English, a Bachelor's in Psychology, and a minor in Black Studies. I have experience in multiple fields of study, so I am very comfortable discussing varying topics.
I sincerely enjoy connecting with people and offering my skills to whatever they need assistance with. I am very passionate about making sure someone is able to achieve their goals in a positive way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first assess where the student feels they need improvement, then I focus on their strengths to ensure that they feel comfortable building on what they already have accomplished.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned two Bachelor's degrees last May, and over the course of my undergraduate career, I worked in several circles of teaching and building bridges across different communities. My English senior thesis project was a creative work, an independent writing project that I have been steadily making progress on to prepare it for publication. I also have experience as an intern with a literary magazine that has a national audience, and am comfortable editing and reviewing many forms of writing.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I am open to whatever pricing works best for my clients; I charge a standard $15/hour as a base, but I am willing to negotiate if circumstances make that a hardship.
How did you get started teaching?
I am new to teaching in a professional capacity, however, I have worked with other students throughout my schooling career to help them better understand whatever material we were presented with, and several of them recommended me to this profession. I enjoy the process of helping someone to understand what they didn't before.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should be familiar with the areas they need the most help with and should know that this space is one of non-judgment and of patience. I am here to help. It is my job and my pleasure to take as much time as you need to become comfortable with the areas that you are struggling with; together we will tackle the problems and get you to a place of strength.
