I am experienced, knowledgeable, patient, nurturing, dedicated and a trusted tutor with students (elementary school, middle school, high school, college, young adults and older adults). I’ll help you put all of the material into perspective and help you develop new strategies to be able to apply the appropriate technique to each new problem or situation. Sessions will be tailored to reflect your abilities, goals, and time constraints. I also provide much more individual feedback that could be possible in a large classroom, so you will find that time spent much more productive.
Scope: I am student-focused, patient, and dedicated to ensuring individual success. My teaching strengths include excellent communication skills, proficient psychological conceptualization, writing, research design and analysis of data.
Success: I credit my students’ success to a single teaching philosophy: “I try to instill confidence in my students by helping them manage their academic workload. In every lesson, I set their expectations while also putting them in the best possible position to succeed. I empower my students”.
Teaching credentials: 14-years as a college professor and tutor of psychology, sociology, marketing, research, and public relation.
In addition, I have tutored students in IB-Psychology, GRE, and AP level courses. I was an “Accountant Planner-Psychologist” (behaviorist) in Advertising agencies developing ad campaigns in healthcare and OTC product categories.

Testing Experience: Trained as Neuropsychometrist; test patients for Executive Functions, ADHD/AD, depression, Alzheimer’s, head trauma, and other cognitive mental dysfunctions. The combination of my psychology, business experience, and academic credentials plus clinical experiences will provide a solid foundation for my students to succeed with any assignment.
Cancellation Policy: If a student must cancel their scheduled lesson within 24 hours to an agreed lesson, (online or in-person) they will be billed for that lesson. Note: Tutor will issue the cancellation fee if the location is not confirmed at the 12-hour mark and a reminder of a session is not the responsibility of the tutor. Travel time over 1 hour, tolls and parking are paid at the time of the session directly to the tutor.
