Hi! I’m a patient, supportive tutor with a PhD in psychology, specializing in academic motivation and study strategies. I work with elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and adult learners, especially students who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

I focus on study skills, research methods, and statistics, and help students break down complex material, build effective strategies, and gain confidence.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent students, including those with ADHD and dyslexia. As someone who personally overcame these challenges while earning my PhD, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience. I help students find approaches that actually work for how they learn.

My sessions are structured, encouraging, and tailored to each student, with the goal of building independence and long-term success.

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I have taken six semesters of graduate statistics and published peer reviewed papers using quantitative data that I analyzed in R. I also taught a graduate level statistics class that used SPSS.
Study Skills

Study Skills

I hold a PhD in Psychology, with research and peer-reviewed publications focused on study skills and academic motivation. That academic foundation directly informs how I coach — I bring evidence-based strategies to every session, grounded in how learning and motivation actually work rather than generic tips. My coaching focuses on the skills students need to succeed long-term: time management, organization, active study strategies, and academic confidence. I work with high school and college students to build personalized systems that fit how they actually think and learn — not one-size-fits-all templates. My approach emphasizes self-awareness first. Before introducing any tools or techniques, I help students identify where they're getting stuck and why. From there, we build habits together — things like breaking large tasks into steps, using planners consistently, and shifting from passive re-reading to retrieval-based study methods that actually move information into long-term memory. I have a particular interest in the motivational and emotional side of academics — helping students who feel behind, overwhelmed, or disengaged reconnect with their own capability. I believe that sustainable academic success comes from students trusting their own process, not just following someone else's system.

Amazing Tutor Who Truly Understands Her Students

My tutor has been amazing to work with. She is professional, knowledgeable, and does a great job adjusting her tutoring style to fit my learning needs. She takes the time to explain things in ways that make sense to me and is always patient and encouraging. As someone with ADHD, I have struggled with academics for many years and developed a lot of anxiety around learning. She has helped me rebuild my confidence and relearn study and learning strategies that actually work for me. For the first time in a long time, learning feels less stressful and even enjoyable again. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor who is understanding, flexible, and truly cares about helping her students succeed!!
