Hobbies
Most relevant to tutoring is my interest in applied psychology, including cognitive psychology (understanding how children think), educational psychology (knowing how to teach so that students learn) and positive psychology (the study of how to increase happiness and self-confidence). In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, jogging, photography, reading, crosswords, cross-country skiing and kayaking.
