"I am a certified educator with a strong academic background and extensive experience providing individualized instruction in reading, writing, math, and study skills. I hold a graduate degree in education and am currently completing a Ph.D. in Education, with a research focus on student learning, skill development, and academic transitions. My education and training have equipped me with a deep understanding of instructional design, assessment, and evidence-based teaching practices, which I apply directly when tutoring students across subject areas.

I have over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students from elementary through high school in both classroom and one-on-one settings. As a high school special education teacher, I provide targeted instruction in reading comprehension, written expression, foundational math, and executive functioning skills. I work closely with students who have learning differences, attention challenges, or gaps in foundational skills, and I regularly adapt instruction to meet individual learning needs. In addition to classroom teaching, I have provided individual academic support focused on skill remediation, organization, and academic confidence.

My tutoring approach is structured, supportive, and individualized. I focus on breaking concepts into clear, manageable steps and using explicit instruction, guided practice, and feedback to help students master skills. I prioritize building understanding and confidence while helping students develop effective learning strategies they can apply independently. My goal is to help each student make steady academic progress while feeling supported, capable, and engaged in their learning." less...
