I am a Clinical Psychology graduate with several years of hands-on tutoring and academic support experience across elementary, middle school, high school, and college levels. Supported by a full-ride scholarship, I completed my undergraduate degree with a 4.0 GPA and Dean's List recognition at Hunter College. My strong academic background began early, as I earned near-perfect scores on all of my New York State Regents exams, which gave me a deep understanding of effective study strategies and exam preparation techniques.
My tutoring experience spans across several years, starting at Brooklyn Public Library and UCA Tutoring Center. At these institutions, I supported students in one-on-one and small group settings. At BPL, I worked with learners from diverse academic backgrounds and grade levels, helping them strengthen reading comprehension, writing and math skills. At UCATC, where I served as a lead tutor, I created individualized lesson plans and worked with students one-on-one on NYS Statewide and Regents exam prep. I adapted strategies for students ranging from elementary to high school, ensuring each learner had clear explanations tailored to their needs.
A significant part of my teaching experience also comes from serving as a TA for a college-level psychology statistics course. In this role, I led review sessions, explained statistical concepts, guided students through assignments, and provided academic support during office hours. In this role, I learned how to break down abstract ideas such as probability, standard deviations, and hypothesis testing. This experience taught me how to identify learning barriers quickly and adjust my explanations to match different learning styles.
Utilizing my psychology background, I have a strong understanding of how students learn at different developmental stages. My goal is to create a supportive, structured learning environment where students can ask questions comfortably, make steady progress, and ultimately become more independent learners!
