"Hello! I my name is Maddie and I am a 28-year-old psychology doctoral student based in Oakland. I was inspired to pursue this degree after spending three admission cycles as a one-on-one college admissions essay tutor in the Washington, DC area. I really enjoy working with students on their writing skills while helping them develop compelling personal essays. I continue to work with children ages 5-17 in my psychology program and am passionate about helping kids identify and expand their academic, social, and emotional strengths.

I am also qualified to tutor students in various levels of science and math. I earned a B.S. in neuroscience from Duke University, as well as minors in English and Spanish. I have volunteer experience tutoring elementary level math in the DC area. I am an accomplished math student and have taken classes in multivariable calculus, statistics, and linear algebra. I really enjoy working with students on math and watching it "click" for them.

I enjoy working with families and welcome input from students and parents on what works best for your student." less...
