I have spent the last twelve years studying psychology, including formal coursework earning an Associate Degree in Psychology and an Associate Degree in Social and Behavioral Sciences, and I am currently completing my Bachelor's degree with classes in progress. My coursework has focused on developmental psychology, cognitive biases, research methods, and learning science.
For the past two years I have facilitated peer study groups for psychology students, helping with concept mastery, APA-style writing, and exam preparation. I specialize in taking sticky concepts and breaking them into plain English with a real-life example, then having the student teach it back so it sticks. I also teach sustainable study pacing and test-anxiety reset tools using body-based awareness, which is especially helpful for students who know the material but freeze on exams. I am not a licensed therapist or counselor and I do not diagnose or provide therapy; all instruction is educational information only.
As a tutor, my style is warm, direct, and low-jargon. A typical 60-minute session is 10 minutes identifying the stuck spot, 30 minutes breaking it down and practicing, and 20 minutes student teach-back. I tutor online via Zoom from Riverside, California 92507 with limited in-person availability within ten miles of 92507, and keep sessions structured and sustainable.
