What did you study in college?

I majored in Psychology and Asian American Studies at UCLA. I also studied reading instruction and educational testing through Cal State Northridge’s Educational Therapy program.

Why do you place so much emphasis on study skills and organization? Can’t you just teach me the concept?

Over my 10+ years of tutoring experience, I noticed that most of the learners I worked with were struggling in their classes because they didn’t know how to study and stay organized — not because they needed someone to review the material with them.

Plus, studying and organizational skills can continue to be used and applied across all sorts of subjects and tasks, in and out of school.

Where do you buy your school supplies and stationery?

Everywhere. I like to buy page flags from Daiso. I love the hardcover notebooks from Michaels.
