"I am an educator with more than 15 years of teaching and tutoring experience, specializing in English language learning and reading support. I hold a Master’s degree in Community Development from Northern Seminary, a Bachelor’s in History from the University of South Florida, and I am state-certified in Social Studies (K–12) with endorsements in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) and Reading. I am also currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Community Development.

My background includes serving as an ESOL resource teacher in Hillsborough County Public Schools, where I worked closely with English learners and their families to improve language proficiency and academic achievement. I have also taught English to adults, supported college students as a bilingual services tutor, and helped learners from many cultural and linguistic backgrounds gain confidence in reading, writing, and conversation.

I specialize in practical, supportive tutoring that helps students strengthen English grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension while building confidence in communication. My approach is student-centered: I adapt lessons to each learner’s goals, whether that’s conversational English, academic writing, or preparing for tests. I bring patience, cultural awareness, and encouragement to every session, helping students not only learn English but also enjoy the process." less...
