About Me

I'm an Educational Studies graduate student who gets excited about helping other people learn. Between private tutoring and working at the academic writing center on my college campus, I have 2 years of tutoring experience, with 1 year of that being ADHD-specific. While working at my college's Academic Writing Center, I helped students improve their writing for class assignments, scholarship and grant applications, and the occasional cover letter and resume. My approach to writing tutoring is not about editing students' grammar; instead, I help students identify their communication goals and then teach techniques for effectively meeting those goals. In broader tutoring work, I help students develop their study skills in a way that suits their unique learning style, personality, and accommodation needs. There is no one right way to learn, so figuring out what works for you is often a process of throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. As a student with ADHD myself, I have honed my 'spaghetti throwing' process over my academic career to be systematic and reflexive. When trying a new study technique, I help students identify what about it specifically works well and where friction occurs. I then use this feedback to inform what I suggest trying next. Lather, rinse, repeat until eventually students have a toolkit full of study techniques that they can wield confidently for any assignment, paper, or test that comes their way. I would love to work with any student who wants to build their study toolkit to work with their unique learning style and educational goals.
