Bio
Dr. Rebecca Tedesco’s superpower is that she can make anyone believe in themselves.
Rebecca has been a learning strategies and writing tutor for nearly 20 years. In addition to leading tutoring appointments with PSFA graduate students and undergraduate majors, she teaches professional writing courses for PSFA students.
Rebecca completed an EdD in teaching and learning in higher education from Gwynedd Mercy University. Her dissertation title was How Art History Students' Learning Is Shaped by Interactions with Their Embedded Tutor.
Her passion, second only to her love of tutoring and academic support, is experiential learning. She completed a certificate in experiential education from Yeshiva University.
When she is not working, she is usually hanging out with her wife and their little menagerie of pets, reading, spending time at the beach, or watching her favorite telenovela.
