Experience
I've tutored many fellow students in various math, science, writing, and psychology classes. I am also currently tutoring a group of undergraduate students for the GRE Verbal Reasoning. I have also worked as a teaching assistant in which I was the sole instructor for a college level statistics course. My SAT scores were 1920 (Critical Reading: 580; Mathematics: 710; Writing: 630). My GRE scores were 163 for the Verbal Reasoning Section and 160 For the Quantitative Reasoning section. I want to be a tutor because I am extremely enthusiastic about learning, and even more enthusiastic about teaching. I love being able to make learning fun for children and young adults. I have taken courses on child development, behavior modification, and cognitive psychology, all of which have been extremely useful in my teaching/tutoring career. I have also acted as a graduate ambassador for people interested in the Psychology Masters program at San Diego State University and as a student mentor for incoming Psychology graduate students.

Hobbies
I love comedy, and I try to incorporate this into my teaching style. I believe people can gain a deeper understanding of materials much more quickly when they are having fun doing it and motivated to learn. My teaching strategies include making silly analogies or comparisons, telling stories, and personalizing the material, or connecting it back to real life. I also enjoy playing with animals (particularly dogs), cooking, writing for fun, jogging, coloring, and chatting with/getting to know people.
