As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Missouri - Saint Louis, I have over 2 years of tutoring experience, specializing in preparing students for the NCE - National Counselor Exam. My teaching philosophy revolves around fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment, where students are encouraged to tackle challenging concepts with confidence. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, drawing on my background in mental health counseling to build personal connections that inspire resilience and motivation. Outside of tutoring, I am passionate about reading and exploring diverse cultures, which not only enriches my teaching perspective but also helps me relate to my students' varied experiences. I am committed to guiding each student toward their academic goals and fostering a love for learning.
