Hi! My name is Ella and I’m a third year BA student majoring in psychology and minoring in political science. I am primarily interested in abnormal, political, and counselling psychology. Throughout my time at the U of A I have learned the importance of reaching out for help when you need it, which is what ultimately led me to develop and hone effective studying skills. I have consistently earned strong marks using these skills and have helped many clients throughout my time with SU tutors. My focus on repetition, practice, and preparation has worked for me for years, and I’m confident it will work for you too! I’m available via Google Meet, and for case-by-case in-person meetings due to limited availability. Cheers! – Ella
