Experience
I was a peer tutor in college to educate undergraduate students about mental health. Apart from that, I also have experience in teaching english as a second language to children aged from 3-10 during my college year. From September, 2019, I've been implementing individualzied instrutional programs based on the principles of applied behavior analysis to preschoolers with various developmental disabilities, in 1:1 setting and via telehealth. I want to be a tutor because I'm passionate about helping others to get to their goal, using my experience, training and knowledge in developmental psycholgy and teaching as a strategic science. Sometimes it can be very overwhelming to figure out the right steps to get there. I've been in that road before, so I just want to just make it a little easier for other people along the way. Relevant classes: educational psychology, psychology of chidlren's TV, methods of empirical research, Applied behavior analysis 1 & 2, curriculum & pedagogy & functional academic literacy, cognitive development, children's social and emotioan development, introduction to psychological testing & assessment, practicum in applied behavior analysis, working with family of children with autism My skills: English & Mandarin Data collection Instructional decision analysis Curriculum design Contingency management Goal setting Behavioral intervention Parent training

Hobbies
I love cooking for families and friends! To see them enjoying the food I prepared is the most satisfying thing for me. I'm also passionate about fitness and exercise. I have an active lifestyle (even more so during pandemic!), and always stay on top of executing my exercise plan (although it is not always easy). I hope I can also help other people reach their fitness goal using my knowledge in behavior-changing techniques! If you share the same passion, I'd love to connect! :)
