Experience
Hi! I went to school at UVa, and after graduation I took a research job for 3 years at another university. I'm currently a PhD student at Penn State University and can offer a number of tutoring services in some diverse areas. I've tutored middle, high school, and college students for over 8 years and am patient yet structured in my tutoring approach. I enjoy tutoring students who are eager to learn and improve, and I love being a part of that process-- whether it's through helping with homework, doing test prep, reviewing writing samples, or going over theoretical concepts. I am a graduate student currently offering tutoring services for Psychology (AP and college level), SPSS (statistical programming), essay writing and proofreading, basic reading skills, beginning or intermediate Spanish, ESL/ESOL, and GRE test prep. Let me know if you have questions about my qualifications in any of these areas. I am a graduate student currently analyzing data with SPSS. I feel comfortable with SPSS syntax, functions, and data output and can assist with the manipulation and interpretation of data. I studied psychology as an undergrad at UVa and immersed myself in psychology coursework. I've conducted over 7 years of research in the areas of social psychology, psychotherapy, behavioral genetics, and decision-making. I'm currently a graduate student in a Clinical Psychology PhD program and am familiar with psychological statistics and literature. I am very detail-oriented and took several courses in English literature during my undergraduate career. I am an avid reader with a deep appreciation for language, and have a good eye for structure, cohesion, and vocabulary in written works. I am patient and can help improve the quality of a writing sample through careful editing and proof-reading. I look forward to hearing how I can help you improve your studies!!
