Certified Tutor

Learning is as much technical as it is personal. This means that students will learn not only to improve themselves in their own discipline, but generalizable skills that will make them a better student and learner. As a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology I have developed a range of skills and expertise that will help my students flourish. To me, learning has been a life-long passion. I try to bring my passion to my instruction in order to make the learning fulfilling beyond the classroom. Finally, my approach to tutoring is one of patience, collaboration, and humor.

In terms of my background, I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and History from Rutgers University, a Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), and am currently completing the final requirement for my PhD at CWRU.

During my years in and out of academica I have worked to developed my expertise in reading comprehension, writing, and psychology. For instance, I have taught numerous undergraduate courses in the topic of psychology and research methods. These courses have included working to help students develop their understanding of psychological concepts and methods, improve their reading comprehension, and master their writing. Moreover, I have worked to develop a teaching approach that centers the individual students needs and desires while adding evidence-based motivational and executive functioning skills to enhance student's ability to learn. In sum, my tutoring approach is individually flexible while embedded in universal methods and skills. This approach will help students master their discipline of interest but also help them develop skills that they can take to other challenge areas in the future.

Outside of academia, I am an avid reader of history and politics, I enjoy attending live music concerts, and have a great love for vintage clothing.

I look forward to meeting you soon!

Hobbies

My academic interests include developmental psychopathology, depression etiology, family-focused interventions, and biomarkers of psychopathology risk. Outside of academic endeavors, I love to travel having recently finished a trip across Japan. I also love trying new restaurants around my city. Most of my free time is spent either reading a book on history (particularly interested in labor and political histories), cruising around thrift and vintage stores, going to concerts, and drinking probably too much coffee.
