"I am a certified educator with more than eight years of classroom teaching experience, over ten years of substitute teaching, and two years of private tutoring. From 2015 to 2021, I taught in the Putnam City Schools District, where I worked with students from diverse backgrounds and a wide range of abilities. I hold degrees in Early Childhood Education, Computer-Aided Design, and Liberal Arts with a minor in Design, and I’ve tutored for Dojo Tutor since 2023. My experience has allowed me to support learners from preschool through high school in reading, writing, math, and creative expression. Whether I’m helping a young child build foundational skills or guiding an older student through study strategies, I focus on building confidence as well as competence.

My approach is student-centered and story-driven. I believe students learn best when lessons feel meaningful and connect to their own life experiences. I incorporate hands-on activities, visuals, and storytelling techniques to make learning both engaging and memorable. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow at their own pace. I want every student I work with to see themselves as capable, creative, and ready to learn—because when they believe that, progress always follows." less...
