About Me

I am a graduate of Saint Louis University where I majored in Psychology and Spanish. I am currently working as a research coordinator at the University of Miami before pursuing a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have been tutoring professionally for about 6 years now. My experience includes working with high school students on basic math such as Algebra and Pre-Calculus, and undergraduate university students in the subjects of Spanish, Psychology, and GRE test prep. I also worked with both young children and adults learning English as a second language when I lived in Madrid, Spain for a year of my undergraduate studies. My passion for tutoring comes from both a passion for learning and an understanding of the frustration that comes with academic struggles. I work very hard to understand how the student learns and then tailor my approach to the subject in a way that engages them without adding to that frustration. In my experience, oftentimes when students are working very hard and still not seeing the success they desire, they are simply spinning their wheels. My goal is to work with the student to redirect the misguided effort towards rewarding and attainable goals. In doing so, I add to the students understanding of not only the subject material, but also of their own learning process so as to improve their own academic competence. Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, running with my dog, visiting the beach, dancing, and cooking.
