I have worked with students from various backgrounds and academic levels. I am working on my Ph.D. in Educational Leadership.

I am a certified teacher in elementary education, Pre-K to 3rd grade with an endorsement in 4th and 5th grade. I have taught fourth-grade math and English language arts for five years and worked as a private tutor for three years. I was also employed with Math Plus Academy in Columbus, Ohio for two years. I have also worked seven and a half years as an adult education teacher.

My teaching style includes hands-on exciting materials. I am passionate about teaching children how to read and learn math. I incorporate structured phonics instruction. I also focus on using phonics, sight word, and comprehension skills to read real and enjoyable books. For math, I teach students strategies to help them master mathematical thinking. My goal is for students to gain confidence and have fun while learning!" less...
