My academic history:
In high school I graduated at the top of my class (top 5%) with my focus subjects being English, Maths and Biology. After that, I obtained my BSc in Psychology graduating with distinction followed by a Master's in Clinical/Cognitive Neuroscience with Specialization in Neuropsychology.
During my degrees, I gained research experience using e.g. EEG (projects within neurolinguistics) as well as practical clinical experience as a neuropsychological intern at a rehabilitation facility for mainly stroke and MS patients. Also conducted observational research within this clinical setting.

My tutoring experience:
I worked for my university for 4 years in various areas, volunteering as an evacuation assistant, representing the university and providing information at the university's Open Days. Part of this work was university-organized tutoring of groups of approx. 12 students to facilitate self-studying and support students in understanding of the curriculum. The courses I tutored covered History of Psychology, Psychodiagnostics, Methods & Statistics of Psychology, Basic Neuroanatomy and Neurobiology as well as Perception. I speak German and English at a native level. In addition, I learned basic conversational Dutch during my stay in Maastricht. I'm passionate about neuroscience and neuropsychology specifically.

My tutoring approach is to analyze the goals or issues tutees face and form a structured plan in order to help each of them to reach their potentials by breaking down challenging parts into simpler accessible ones. That's why up-front I will ask you to briefly describe what you need help with and I will build a plan based on that to make sure you get the most out of your learning experience.
