Experienced tutor helping students reach their true potential

Maya M.

Hello! I'm Maya. I received my BA from Swarthmore College in 2013 (major: psychology; minor: English literature.) During this time, I began tutoring locally. I have been tutoring students one-on-one since this time (10 years). After graduating, I worked as a kindergarten co-teacher. I taught reading, writing, science, math, and social skills to children in groups of different sizes (4-12).

I received my PhD in clinical psychology in 2022 with a 4.0 GPA. I taught psychology and child development as a TA at NYU (class sizes: 24-40). Individually, I worked with these undergraduate students for test preparation and writing and revising papers. I also instructed individually and in small groups (2-6) on how to conduct human subjects research and write academic papers.

As TA of a graduate-level advanced statistics course over multiple semesters (class size: 12), I taught students to grasp and apply advanced statistical concepts. I also worked with students individually apply correct statistics using SPSS to their projects and dissertations. I have served as a peer tutor for various advanced psychology courses at the graduate level.

I have experience tutoring individually for the SAT (my score: 2360) and GRE (my score: 335; writing 6.0). I have experience working individually with students on their applications and essays for college and graduate programs. I have worked individually with psychology PhD/PsyD students for dissertation coaching and statistical instruction.

I have worked with elementary school students on math, science, reading, writing, and social skills, and Hebrew language. I have individually tutored middle and high school students in: (pre)algebra, (pre)calculus, trigonometry, geometry, grammar, literature, social studies, writing, and AP psychology, statistics, biology, chemistry, English language & composition.

As part of my PhD, I have also become experienced in integrating principles of organizational systems training toward academic success for individuals with ADHD.
