"Hello! My name is Gianna. I am a graduate student at the University of Central Florida pursuing a MA in Counselor Education on the Clinical Mental Health track, with the goal of one day becoming a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I also have experience as a Mental Health Technician at a residential facility primarily working with adolescents. I have also earned a B.S. in Clinical Psychology and a minor in Health Services Administration with a 3.55 GPA at UCF. For my Associates, earned at Broward College, I graduated with an overall GPA of 3.74, on the Presidents List, and in top 1% of my class. I have a passion for teaching and hope to one day pursue it as a career at the university level.

I have many hours of tutoring experience where most of my students need help with homework assignments, writing/proofreading papers, and exam test prep. I like to focus on improving overall writing and grammar skills. This helps my students understand what they are reading, answer free response questions more effectively, and it improves the quality of the writing. I aim to teach what it means to break down a question to understand exactly what it is asking the student to provide in its answer so that the student can recognize these types of situations more effectively on their own without additional assistance. The goal of tutoring is for students to not to need my services but to empower them to trust in their own processes, how to develop healthier study habits, and prepare them well enough for the tougher assignments.

I have experience in MLA and APA formatted papers and citations. I also have a plethora of resources I can offer that have helped me over the years as a student.

Looking forward to working with you!" less...
