Psychology-focused college student and tutor who supports learners with trust, structure, and personalized guidance.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a current college student focused in psychology and behavioral sciences, and I’m highly self-directed and committed to completing tasks with little outside help.
I’ve built experience through education and mentorship in independent hobby spaces, including onboarding new players in TTRPG spaces. As a TTRPG Mentor (2022-2025), I introduced new groups and individuals, organized schedules for 4-8 people, curated and created educational materials on rules and expectations, and provided extensive one-on-one assistance. I also designed and ran cooperative team-focused activities while keeping individual preferences in mind.
Most recently, I worked as a contracted GO Tutor Corps Virtual Tutor (Feb-Apr 2026) supporting 1-3 middle school students with Algebra 1. I focused on building trust and relationships, executing and adjusting lesson plans as needed, assessing learning progress, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for underperforming students. Through my coursework in education, behavioral management, lesson planning, and statistics and data analysis, I bring both structure and reflection to every learning experience.
