After receiving my bachelor of science degree in psychology from the Ohio State University, I moved on to graduate study at the University of Georgia, where I earned my Ph.D. in biological psychology. This launched my career of teaching cognitive, biological, and other areas of psychology, at various colleges, over a span of 40 years. About a year ago I took up tutoring. Besides psychology, I also tutor a little biology and a lot of statistics. The latter might actually be my favorite, given my mathematical inclinations. As a teacher, I've never felt that my job was to make my students memo-rize facts and definitions but rather to instill ideas. As for tutoring, one thing I love about it is the back-and-forth between the student and me, and perhaps my greatest pleasure is when that lightbulb moment happens and the student suddenly grasps a concept that previously seemed elusive. Outside of academics my major interests are music, politics, and sports.
