I received a Master's degree from Stanford University in Educational Communication and another Master’s from Rutgers University in Educational Psychology. I have more than 30 years of experience tutoring one on one and teaching large and small groups at all levels, from elementary school to college.

As an educational psychologist, I use a variety of techniques and tailor programs to suit the student’s learning style and level of proficiency.

I take a servant leadership, customer-oriented approach to my responsibilities. I routinely try to answer the following question: What can I do to help students achieve their goals? For research papers, I encouraged students to pursue their own interests, such as a subject related to their major, in order to give them a better opportunity to enjoy the research process as opposed to merely fulfilling an exercise requirement. From January 2006 through August 2008, I worked part-time as a freshman composition instructor, writing lab tutor, and teaching assistant for the English department at UNT. As an instructor, I taught two classes per long semester and one, intensive summer session. During the fall semesters, I taught Composition I, which introduced students to a variety of writing concepts, such as the personal essay and the visual text.

I have been tutoring since 2006 and have covered a broad range of subjects during my time. My tutoring experience ranges from helping elementary students prepare for private school entrance exams to tutoring college students in math, english, economics, and history and everything in between. I have worked with students teaching them anything from algebra to calculus. I enjoy tutoring math the most but am very comfortable helping students write papers, or providing them critiques of their compositions. I wrote many papers during my time in college as a philosophy major and can help with fundamentals of writing as well as self-editing techniques. My teaching style is to do whatever works, and to get it done. I pride myself on working with my students on their level and being able to understand their personal barrier to grasping the material.
