About Dr Cheryl

I earned my doctoral degree in 2016 and published my dissertation focusing on family caregivers for combat disabled veterans. My PhD was conferred with distinction, my master’s degree in counseling psychology was awarded with a cumulative GPA 3.98.

I have multiple undergraduate degrees ranging from modern foreign languages, Biblical studies including individual & Organizational communications. Along the journey, I also became a “high designer” in the floral industry and now I continue learning with Chaplaincy and Emergency Management Response. Once we learn something…it is ours to share! I am a certified Montessori teacher modeling the love of learning with each student through self-discipline, self-motivation, and the love of learning. So many times, it is possible to “get stuck” trying to learn what becomes a difficult subject because we just need to look at the subject from a different angle- then the “Aha” moment happens!

I have been coaching and teaching high school, college, graduate students from teens to adults. In the past five years. I have taught hundreds of students in thousands of sessions. I have had the honor of working with 75 AP Psychology candidates English composition in high school, college and thesis or dissertations in graduate school as well as Biblical studies. I maintain long-term tutoring, many throughout high school, college, and graduate school. I tailor my approach to your needs, your personality, your interests, and together, we set goals and objectives for YOU to meet your targets.

When we connect, we can meet to assess your needs and plan our approach using the Wyzant platform. You can share any syllabi with me so I can acquire textbooks and resources to prepare for our sessions. I connect your learning style to success from the love of learning! Let’s connect!

A blessing to be with
Dr. Cheryl helped me with doctoral level help. She is warm, friendly and she knows her stuff! Lucky is the student that comes under her tutelage. She really goes above and beyond to help her students.

About the lesson

Socratic and contextual learning moves the newly acquired information from working memory to Long Term Memory PLUS we will have fun in the process. I take the subjects very seriously but I don't take myself seriously- I am client-centered and an APA teacher too!

We will work via Zoom and share documents via my secure DropBox.

Recommendation from Dr. Francine

I am pleased to endorse Dr. Cheryl. Throughout my doctoral studies, Dr. Cheryl provided consistent guidance and support during periods of significant challenge. Her expertise, commitment, and professionalism were exemplary. She demonstrated reliability, integrity, respect, and was consistently responsive even under tight deadlines. Dr. Cheryl never treated it as just a job; instead, she genuinely believed in me and was truly enthusiastic about helping me achieve success.

Dr. Cheryl is one of the most experienced psychologists I have ever met. She kindly agreed to help our daughter with her AP Psychology course, and the result was an outstanding final grade of A.

Honestly, I am surprised that someone with her level of expertise chooses to do tutoring, as she is truly above and beyond this role. I genuinely believe that her motivation comes from a sincere passion for helping students succeed, rather than for any other reason.

As a physician myself, I can recognize when someone is driven by true dedication and passion for what they do. Dr. Cheryl is exactly that kind of professional. I highly recommend her.

I met Dr. Novas my senior of High School struggling with Psychology and found her on Varsity Tutors to help me out. It is now Superprof but she has helped me understand the concepts that go with general psychology and the psychologist Freud, Carl Rogers, and Maslow who were all known for their certain beliefs with the what a human needs. We had gone over a lot of the fetal development stages and covered the different concepts of psychology using Myers textbook which was beneficial in learning all the concepts of psychology. I appreciate when she would help me look at the terms needed to memorize the vocabulary in psychology.

We can use your "free session" time to review your needs for upcoming sessions as well as create a strategy for your success! There will be no teaching during the first session- it is for organization and sharing linkages for Zoom, DropBox and other resources that I bring to our sessions! I look forward to working together!
