Tutoring Experience

Part of my work to date has brought my interests in health and well-being together with my interest in what makes us different my studying the psychology of religion. There is nothing more rewarding than finding an area of research about which one is passionate and learning more and more about it.

This passion is truly motivating and actually helps us to retain what we learn because we are telling our brains that this information is relevant to us. Rest assured that with my background in psychology, we will be able to use our knowledge of the brain and the mind to help you maximize your potential and ace those assessments.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to tutoring is collaborative and I like to work with students to really help them find a love for their discipline that will become the fuel for their desire to learn. Within psychology, I am particularly interested in studying the brain and how this organ gives rise to the complexity of the mind. I have spent a lot of time studying mental health conditions, as well as disorders of brain function, including dementia and stroke. In addition to this, I am also really interested in what makes us different, across dimensions, such as personality and intelligence.

Drawing on the psychology of learning and teaching, I make sure that my lessons are structured in a way that students are most likely to retain what we discuss and implement it in their courses. I am particularly interested in using memory strategies and techniques that are good for consolidation, including elaborative encoding, chunking, active recall, and memory palaces
