Viewing credentialed tutors from Texas Christian University

I earned my PhD in experimental psychology in 2003. I have 17 years of teaching experience at the college and high school level. I have taught statistics on multiple occasions as well as a wide variety of math, science, and psychology courses. I also have extensive experience tutoring.... In my career, I have strove to become the best teacher I can be by utilizing successful techniques of my mentors and colleagues. Ultimately, I feel that I need to be flexible as an instructor to match my instruction with the course material. I strive to develop critical thinking skills in students, and to be available to students when they need assistance in any way. I feel like students respond best to instruction when they are actively engaged by the teacher. I feel I am best as a tutor and teacher when I learn how my students respond to certain instruction.

...travel/scuba hobbies. While I have tutored in various subjects much of my experience is in English, in both Spain and the US, as well as Spanish. My favorite subjects are reading/writing, physics, and language because they enable us to describe our world. As a tutor my approach is focused on student discovery which creates confidence...

...students, especially in the subjects of math and test prep! I have had experience working with students in an after school program helping train them for math competitions.

I believe that any student can achieve their academic goals with the right help. As a past tutor with an After School Program, I know what it takes to motivate and encourage students of any age. I am a very patient and kind teacher, but I also enjoy a few quips to keep things light...
