When I was a research assistant, I had the opportunity to tutor new students. I began by assessing the student's current understanding and then introduced key concepts. Using interactive methods, I employ visual aids and real-life examples to explain the relevant material. To reinforce learning, If I am teaching about a theory, I encourage student to apply these concepts to hypothetical scenarios, which not only tested their understanding but also helped them relate theory to practice. I also provide supplementary resources, such as academic articles and videos, to support their learning outside of the sessions.

My approach to tutoring emphasizes clarity, patience, and adaptability. I tailor each session to the student's learning style and pace, ensuring they grasp complex psychological concepts. My background in child and adolescent mental health research, combined with my hands-on experience in clinical and research settings, allows me to offer a rich, practical perspective that enriches the tutoring experience.
