The information in this course is based on a course I took while studying Psychology in college. I hold a Bachelor's degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and I have taken a minor in Psychology. In this particular Positive Psychology course, I earned an "A" grade. I've also completed Social Psychology with an "A" grade, along with a plethora of other Psychology courses. I am studying to receive a Master's in Engineering.

I am a certified yoga teacher (200-HR YTT) with a certification in Yin.

I have been tutoring students aged 8-19 for five years. I have taught this class before to large groups of 200-300 students, and received overwhelmingly positive reviews from my supervisors, parents, and students! 

숙제 제공
This course is complemented with a workbook created by me. This workbook contains pages that correlate with each day of the course. The workbook is meant to be printed out and completed during the course as a "follow-along." This workbook is highly recommended, but will not be graded or assigned as homework. 

I may offer activities to do for the students between classes, but they are never mandatory.
