Gilly D.
Private tutor in Sunnyvale, CA
Education
I recently graduated from Santa Clara University with a double B.S. in Psychology and Child Studies. I am an incoming PhD student at Palo Alto University for clinical psychology. I graduated college with a 3.8 GPA. I was able to maintain my GPA and complete two majors while also graduating a quarter early and applying and accepting an offer at a graduate program. This has taught me excellent time management and organization skills which have been essential to my success in schoolwork and career.
Experience
4 years experience working in classroom settings with children K-12th grade. Extensive experience in special education with children with learning disabilities. I excel in teaching students not only various academic content across many subjects but also overall organization and planning skills which they will be able to apply to all areas of there education. I have experience working as an AVID tutor and excel at working with students who still haven't found their niche in school. I look forward to getting students excited about what they are learning!

Hobbies
I love working with children and have proven to be relatable and engaging to all of the students I have worked with in the past. The majority of my past coursework and jobs have been involved with working with children directly so I am very aware of what children and teens are interested in. I am not just interested in helping children excel academically but also have fun learning and feel supported emotionally and socially by me.
