Amanda: Florissant tutor

Certified Tutor

My journey into education and psychology has been both enriching and enlightening, underscoring my passion for helping others achieve their academic and personal goals. I completed my undergraduate education at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida. I majored in Psychology and minored in Visual Arts. Graduating with a 3.8 GPA, I was honored to be inducted into Psi Chi, a national honor society for psychology students. My academic achievement not only reflects my commitment to excellence but also my dedication to the field of psychology.

During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a note-taker for psychology courses, assisting fellow students with comprehensive notes and study guides essential for their success. This role honed my ability to distill complex information into accessible formats and reinforced my skills in communication and support.

Currently, I am employed as a paraprofessional, working with students from kindergarten through sixth grade. I have been involved in offering after-school intervention sessions. Particularly in 6th-grade math and literacy. These experiences have strengthened my capability to design and implement effective group lesson plans. Looking ahead, I am preparing to apply for a graduate program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Southern Connecticut State University. My goal is to further my expertise in psychology, with a focus on mental health.

I am eager to leverage my unique blend of skills and experiences to support students in their academic journeys. By tutoring, I hope to contribute to their meaningful educational pursuits while advancing my own path toward a graduate degree.
