"I earned both my Bachelor’s in Integrative Studies (with a concentration in Liberal Arts of Teaching) and my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction from George Mason University. For the past four years, I’ve been teaching 3rd grade, and it’s truly where my heart is. I love seeing that “aha!” moment when something finally clicks for a student, and I enjoy finding creative, engaging ways to make learning feel less intimidating and more rewarding. Teaching has taught me patience, adaptability, and the joy of celebrating small victories that lead to big growth.

What excites me most about working with students is helping them build confidence in themselves. I believe every child has unique strengths, and my goal is to help them shine—whether that means breaking down tricky concepts, strengthening foundational skills, or challenging them to stretch beyond their comfort zone. I bring positivity, encouragement, and a student-centered approach to every session. Tutoring gives me the chance to connect one-on-one, really listen to a student’s needs, and guide them at their own pace. More than anything, I want my students to feel capable, motivated, and proud of their progress." less...
