"Hello! I’m an experienced and credentialed elementary school teacher with over ten years in the classroom. I earned my bachelor’s degree and teaching credential from San Francisco State University, and I currently teach a 4th/5th grade combination class. I’ve also taught 1st and 3rd grade, giving me a deep understanding of how children learn and grow across different developmental stages. My years in the classroom have allowed me to develop strong skills in lesson planning, differentiated instruction, and building meaningful relationships with students and families. I’m passionate about creating a warm, supportive, and structured learning environment where students feel safe taking risks and discovering their strengths.

I offer tutoring in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and social-emotional skills, and I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of every learner. Over the years, I’ve worked with students of all abilities, including those who benefit from reteaching, enrichment, or alternative approaches to learning. I use a variety of research-based strategies, hands-on activities, and engaging materials to make concepts meaningful and accessible. Whether your student needs extra support, wants to deepen their understanding, or is working to build confidence, I provide patient, individualized instruction that helps them grow academically and emotionally. Let’s work together to help your child feel successful, capable, and excited about learning!" less...
