About Me
I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology from the University of Dallas in May 2016. I am finishing my Masters in Psychology at UD. I plan to become a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).
Experience
I tutored, unofficially, throughout my pre-college years, including tutoring students in the exit-level Math test for Texas high school seniors and Shakespeare. In college, I had the opportunity to become the psychology department's first tutor. I was chosen by the faculty to share my passion for learning and knowledge with fellow students.
Approach
When I tutor, I prefer to get to know my students. By learning their interests, likes, and dislikes, I can help them see the material in a way that makes the most sense to them. By helping students see course work in a new light, I am able to help the students connect with what they're learning and better use their knowledge to succeed.
