Greetings!!

I'm Kristin and I hear you're looking for a tutor!!

I hold a PhD in Organizational Psychology as well as a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelors in General Psychology. Needless to say, I am quite proficient in psychology and understanding APA writing. In fact, I currently serve as a writing coach/tutor where I encourage my tutees to really delve in and own their writing. I have reviewed and helped with a variety of writings from personal statement essays to dissertations.

In addition to tutoring and coaching, by day I am an Organizational Psychologist, where much of what I do includes writing, editing, proofing and understanding the 'psychology' of the workplace. By night, I am Psychology faculty member. Because of that, I get experience in a variety of capacities.

What I have learned most from my experiences is that just as we all are different so too are people's learning style. Thus, how they are taught/tutored needs to be catered to their specific needs. That is my methodology. I focus my ideas specifically on my student's needs.

Looking forward to working with you.

Proofreading

For 6 years I served as a legal assistant for real estate attorneys and proofreading was a big part of my job. In addition, I currently serve as a management consultant for a variety of internal and external projects which require grammar/mistake free deliverables. Thus, I understand what types of things to look for when proofreading and am more than willing to share that knowledge.

great teacher!

She is always so helpful and kind! Helped me compress my Annotated Bibliography and taught me how to see what was important information inside the article! She continues to help me improve my writing skills!

great teacher!

Amazing job in helping me understand my assignment and have a clearer outline on how to start writing! I am so thankful to have found her!

Helpful session

Kristin was exactly what I needed to mend my course anxiety. I was very overwhelmed with learning APA writing and in one session she broke it down into an understandable format. She also sent me additional resources. I highly recommend her if you're feeling stressed out in your courses!

5-Star Tutor!

Dr. Walker provided instruction in a comfortable, clear, and professional manner. She taught me passive versus active voice and the MEAL plan approach to paragraph structure. She then helped me reconstruct sentences from my writing sample to make them active and more concise. Dr. Walker also provided me with information on utilizing semicolons, transition words, and numerals to make my writing more clear and suscient. I was able to ask questions without fear of judgment and she helped build my confidence in my writing process. She encouraged me to read my writing out loud to detect mistakes and passive voice. Overall, I would very pleased with my session with Dr. Walker and I would recommend her to everyone!

Highly Satisfied Doctoral Student

Dr. Kristin’s approach as a tutor is of an exceptional caliber. As a doctoral student it can be challenging to meet a tutor who demonstrates the level of candor needed at that level of instruction. Dr. Kristine certainly surpassed the bar in that regard. Dr. Kristin’s attention to detail as she proofread my dissertation was exceptional. I have often been told that I’m an excellent writer, but having someone with an expert mastery of APA formatting and grammar in Dr. Kristin, was just the “icing on the cake” that I needed. Dr. Kristin will be an asset to anyone who is intuitive enough to consider hiring her as a tutor.

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Barbara! So happy to be able to help! :)

Scholarly approach toward research and writing.

I should always keep in mind the context and syntax when writing. This will make writing easy and enjoyable. Always keep the reader in mind; the way you write it is the way it will be read.

knowledgeable and patient tutor

Kristin was very helpful to me! She helped me explore my ideas and expand my thoughts. She was very patient with me and understanding of my stressful situation. I would recommend her to anyone!

A pleasant lady, but not very helpful

Kristin was a nice and pleasant person to interact with. I believe her services would be sufficient for an undergraduate student. In such a situation, an intelligent person such as herself can wing it, without much prior knowledge of the students’ specific needs. However, my needs required someone to keenly read my assignment and related materials which were sent beforehand in order to be able to assist me in nuanced areas. While her general advice was appreciated, it was not what I required to help me meet the instructional demands of my professors.
