"Only available for online tutoring at this point in time.

I knew as a teenager that I wanted to become a teacher. I took dance classes beginning in elementary school and spent many years while in high school as a dance assistant. In college, I had extensive “in classroom” teaching experiences (preschool through grade 5) with several seasoned educators. After graduating from college, I became an after school teacher in/around the greater Boston area for a few years. I then transitioned into an assistant position, and finally became an elementary teacher in Massachusetts. I spent a total of 12 years working in the school system. I now work as a tutor and have worked with students of various ages ranging from 5-11 years old. Everything from phonics, reading, writing, grammar, study skills, math, science and more!

What I love most about tutoring is the chance to work with students, learn their interests, learning styles and strengths, and tailor my lessons/activities to meet their diverse needs.

Bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood

Masters degree as a Reading Specialist

Licensed elementary teacher in the state of Massachusetts
