About Me

My name is Megan Ochoa and I am a graduate of Texas A&M University. I was a Psychology major and English minor while in school. While at A&M, I was highly involved in student government. Current;y, I am a graduate student at St. Mary's University and working toward my degree in Clinical Mental Health Therapy. After completing the 60 hour program, I am looking forward to working with at-risk youth in counseling and therapy sessions.

As a member of the National Honor Society, I got the opportunity to work with a student from the middle school on a weekly basis. While in college, I would attend open tutoring sessions at my local middle school and would help students in various subjects. I also worked with these students during summer learning classes held locally. Currently, I am a Communities in Schools volunteer and I mentor elementary school ages children on a weekly basis.

Personally, I did not necessarily have trouble with my school work but staying focused became an issue. Working with my mother, who is an educator, helped me develop study and listening skills that I used well into college. In tutoring, I like to give students focused study plans to help them stay on track. I also believe that a positive approach will help keep students motivated to work for their desired result! I like to always stay upbeat and positive and look for new ways to present information for students.
