I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Phoenix and a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Forensic Psychology from Capella University. I am also pursuing a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University. My academic background includes extensive coursework in general psychology, abnormal psychology, developmental psychology, research methods, psychological assessment, statistics, and human behavior. This education has provided me with a strong foundation for tutoring undergraduate students in psychology and related subjects.
My teaching experience includes providing instruction to non-minor dependents participating in California's Extended Foster Care (AB 12) program, where I worked with young adults on independent living skills, personal development, and practical problem-solving. I have also worked as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist with children with developmental disabilities, providing individualized instruction and using behavioral strategies, reinforcement, and structured learning activities to support skill development. These experiences have strengthened my ability to adapt instruction to different learning styles, explain unfamiliar concepts, and work effectively with individuals who require additional guidance.
My approach to tutoring emphasizes clear explanations, practical examples, and individualized instruction. I believe students learn more effectively when they understand the reasoning behind a concept rather than simply memorizing information. I break complex material into manageable steps, encourage questions, and use real-world examples to reinforce understanding. My goal is to help students develop confidence, strengthen their critical-thinking skills, and gain a meaningful understanding of psychology, research methods, and introductory statistics.
