I am an undergraduate at Texas A&M University studying psychology and behavioral neuroscience, where I maintain a 3.92 GPA. My coursework spans introductory and advanced psychology, biology, chemistry, statistics, and the neuroscience of learning and memory, so I tutor from a foundation of recent, firsthand experience in these exact classes. I currently work as a paid research assistant in a behavioral neuroscience laboratory, which keeps me fluent in research methods, data interpretation, and the statistical reasoning that trips up many students.
Most of my teaching experience comes from serving as a teaching assistant for an introductory psychology course at Texas A&M, where I develop exam review materials, lead group study sessions, hold office hours, and provide one-on-one support to college students working through difficult material. I have also tutored school-age children through the Salvation Army After-School Program, helping younger students build confidence and study habits across core subjects. Between these roles, I have worked with students ranging from elementary age through college in classroom, small group, and individual settings over the past two years.
My approach is to start from what the student already understands and build outward, using their own assignments, lecture slides, and practice problems rather than a generic script. I focus on the reasoning behind each concept so that students can work through unfamiliar questions instead of memorizing in isolation, and I check understanding often by having students explain ideas back to me. I am especially well suited to tutor psychology, neuroscience, introductory biology and chemistry, statistics, and the psychological and social foundations section of the MCAT, an area where my major gives me a real advantage. My goal in every session is for the student to leave able to do the work on their own.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

As a psychology and neuroscience student at Texas A&M University, I have studied attention, executive function, and the science behind focus and motivation, and I have also navigated ADHD personally with the support of specialists, developing strategies that brought my own symptoms under control. That combination of academic understanding and firsthand experience shapes how I work with students, because I know both the science and what it actually feels like to struggle with focus. In my work as a teaching assistant and after-school tutor, I help students build practical systems such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, structuring study sessions, reducing distractions, and using active recall to stay engaged. My goal is to help students develop strategies and confidence they can carry into all of their coursework.
Guitar

Guitar

I am a multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar along with piano, violin, and drums, which gives me a strong foundation in music theory and lets me teach guitar in a way that connects to overall musicianship. I have played guitar for over six years, have studied privately through one on one lessons with a professor at Houston Community College, and have performed live both in a band and at blues bars. I will begin formal one on one classical guitar instruction for academic credit at Texas A&M University next year, and as a teaching assistant at Texas A&M I have experience explaining material clearly and adapting to how each student learns. I focus on building solid fundamentals such as chords, rhythm, technique, and reading, while keeping lessons centered on songs the student actually wants to play.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I work as a research assistant in a behavioral neuroscience laboratory at Texas A&M University, where I study learning and memory in animal models and have presented my work at a university research conference. My coursework and research center on the neuroscience of behavior, including the cellular and molecular basis of learning, the motor and sensory systems, and how brain circuits give rise to cognition. I maintain a 3.92 GPA and serve as a teaching assistant for a psychology and neuroscience course, where I break down difficult concepts and lead exam review sessions for students. I focus on helping students build an intuitive map of how the nervous system works, connecting structures and pathways to function so the material makes sense rather than feeling like rote memorization.
