Michelle MouradianSanta Barbara, CAPsychology Student
Writing is a passion of mine and I would love the opportunity to share that passion. I recently graduated with honors from Santa Barbara City College with an Associates in Arts for Transfer in Psychology. I have taken various courses such as composition and reading, critical thinking/comparative literature, intercultural communication, general psychology, research methods, physiological psychology, and much more. All of which have required me to write an extensive amount of college level essays and research papers. My English teachers have guided me and taught me unique ways of making an essay stand out. I have been able to share my skills and knowledge with a few international students who I reside with. I have been tutoring them on how to properly write essays in the U.S., in order to improve their writing, vocabulary, and impress their professors. I know writing essays can be an extremely stressful task. Where do I start? How long should it be? Is this too wordy? How to write a thesis? What is a thesis? I could probably go on. As someone who has struggled with school most of their life due to a learning disorder, I want to help students cope mentally. I also want to eliminate all the guesswork in writing an essay and start implementing critical thinking which will be a crucial skill for college and life.
