"Hi, I’m Von — a counselor, coach, ordained minister, and lifelong learner who believes education should build both knowledge and confidence. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, and I’ve spent my career helping individuals understand human behavior, develop emotional intelligence, and unlock their personal and academic potential.

My approach blends psychology, communication, and practical strategy. Whether we’re working on essay writing, leadership concepts, or mindset development, I help students connect what they’re learning to real-world understanding — not just memorize facts. My background as a substance abuse counselor taught me how to meet people where they are, identify learning barriers, and guide them toward clarity and breakthrough moments.

I specialize in tutoring Psychology, Leadership, Writing, and Personal Development. My students often tell me I make complex ideas feel simple — and that I challenge them to think deeper, express themselves clearly, and approach learning with confidence.

If you’re looking for a tutor who combines structure with encouragement, depth with humor, and accountability with genuine care — I’d love to work with you. My goal is simple: to help you not just pass the course, but own the knowledge and use it for life." less...
