"Hello, My name is Ricky from Fresno, California. I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara class of 2018. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.

I currently teach AP Psychology as I prepare them for the AP Exam, and French at High Bluff Academy and Lutheran High School respectively.

I like to challenge my students alot and utilize slides and quizzes, all the while quizzing them and gamifying the lesson as we move through each concept within each unit.

I also teach Spanish from basic levels to sophisticated advanced levels in areas of grammar, pronunciation, and conversation as I have taught private lessons in Spanish, to Tefl students in spanish speaking countries, high school students, and businessmen.

I am an ardent Chess player and I started when i was in elementary school. It is a huge passion of mine and is something enjoy teaching as I analyze my students gameplay, teach tactics, strategy, openings and endgame chess.

The Educational Psychology classes at UCSB give profound insight into how education and psychology inform one another. Taking a page from Finnish education, I assess a students strenghts and weaknesses and assist them in more fundamental areas that need to be improved. I also attempt to be engaging and encourage them to work hard.

I am very responsive because my email is linked to my phone, and I believe it is important for your students to know that you are dependable with any need or question they may have. I am honest and will not lie to you and believe that everyone can learn anything with hard work and dedication. Thanks for reading and don't hesitate to contact me for any questions" less...
