"My name is Ashley and I am entering my last year as a graduate student in Tufts University School Psychology program. I currently hold a Master's Degree from Tufts. I also graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst summa cum laude, greatest distinction. I was a psychology major and minored in education. I am also completed UMass's Specialization in Developmental Disabilities and Human Services program.

I was a volunteer tutor for my high school's tutoring club for two years. I worked with my peers, of all grades, to help with their writing and math skills. My time in college has followed a similar path. I am a teaching assistant for Introduction to Psychology and Cognitive Psychology--classes of over 500 students. Due to the size of these lectures, I assist in the students' education by holding office hours and running review sessions, providing opportunities for 1-on-1 support. I also have experience as a private tutor.

My success in my math classrooms inspired me to tutor Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 in high school. During this time, I was able to see positives changes in my peers' abilities. Succeeding in AP Calculus, and Calc 1 and 2 at the college level, I have strength in math.

I have received various academic writing awards and achievements throughout high school. I was the recipient of an international grant, scoring in the top 10% of all applicants. Writing is an area I have always enjoyed and would love to help foster that passion in others." less...
