Experience
I began tutoring math in my early 30s, though my mother modeled it in my teens, as a former math and Latin teacher. Because I was already doing my clinical Psych MA, I knew how to get to the emotional source of a student's subject problems in the first hour (usually a past failure-hurt). Emotional respect and interest in her/his interests would lead to teamwork and mutual enjoyment of success. I've since tutored during 6 yrs Grade 6-12 and 26 years college teaching. My most recent 2.5yr Ghanaian-American tutoree studied envi-ronmental engineering online: German1,2,3, then Business Engl, Speech, and on to Chemistry, Precalculus & Calculus, Environ-mental Science, Climate Change & African Studies--along w editorial help on social science & engineering papers and prep for standardized tests, including some prep outside of tutoring hrs. I enjoyed guiding him through so many aspects of his training. I got to advise, know & teach him more broadly & deeply than any other teacher in either high school or college. I love tutoring because I get to exercise both my mind and my heart. I'd like to support other students through HS &/or college, since this activates both my teaching & counseling skills & my enjoyment of knowledge in an ideal relaxed setting. Professionally, I'm writing Psych books, foremost "The Emotional Dynamics of Love: Psychology, Neuroscience & the Experience" with a neuroscientist coauthor. I'm also building a dream book to show sophisticated technique & unconscious wisdom for growing through our losses. After the Love book's published I'll return to graduate Psychology teaching of this new knowledge. Mean-while I enjoy exercising my craft to keep my brain sharp, which has already included learning climate change science with my engineering student. My SAT verbal/math scores went up from 1400+ in my 2nd HSyr to 789math & 715verbal early in 3rd (& final) year. I was near the top in LA County in an advanced Chemistry test too. I took 4 semesters of HS & coll math by exam & much later Statistics for Social Scientific research for my psych (2nd) doctoral research in 1996-9.
