About Me

I have a BA in Psychology from The College of William and Mary, a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University, and a PhD in Educational Psychology and Special Education from George Mason University. As an Educational Psychologist, I look at each individual learner as a puzzle that needs to be solved. When working with young learners, I see myself as tutoring not just the child, but the parents as well. I want to equip learners with the tools they need to be successful outside of our sessions. I have experience working with students with a variety of special needs, including ADHD, autism, behavioral issues, and lack of motivation. My approach to test prep sessions is to equip students with the best strategies for test-taking. Test-taking is a skill, and being ill-equipped in that skill area should not be a barrier to your larger goals.

Q&A with Carolyn

I am a constructivist educator. This means that my goal is to make meaningful connections between what my student already knows and the material they are attempting to learn. I think students learn best when they are appropriately challenged in a safe learning atmosphere.
