"Hi! I’m Barbara!

I’m a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Wake Forest University, with a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. My background blends psychology, education, and writing, and I love helping students of all ages grow both academically and personally. I’ve supported teens, college students, and adult learners in understanding psychological concepts, writing with clarity, and preparing for academic success.

Whether you’re working through a tricky psychology concept, writing a research paper, or getting ready for an exam, I bring both clarity and compassion to the process. I’ve supported teens, college students, and adult learners in building skills in writing, research, critical thinking, and self-expression. For psychology students, I help break down complex theories, strengthen academic writing skills, and refine APA formatting. For English and writing students, I guide idea development, build structure, and support clear, confident writing, whether it’s for a class paper, literary analysis, or personal statement.

My tutoring style is warm, encouraging, and strengths-based. I meet you where you are and tailor support to your learning goals while helping you connect big ideas to your own experiences. Our work together will enhance both your academic performance and your confidence." less...
