"With a Level II teaching certification and more than four years of experience in Early Childhood and Elementary education, I bring deep expertise in supporting young learners across a wide range of academic needs. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s in Early Childhood Education, a Master’s in Teaching English Learners, and ongoing doctoral work in Early Childhood Education, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA. This combination of advanced study and hands-on experience allows me to approach tutoring with both strong instructional knowledge and an understanding of how children develop as learners.

Throughout my career as a first grade teacher, private literacy tutor, and early childhood educator, I have worked with students from preschool through the elementary grades in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I specialize in literacy development, reading intervention, writing support, and foundational math skills. My approach is grounded in differentiated instruction—meaning I adapt each lesson to a child’s strengths, needs, and learning style. Whether I am helping a struggling reader build confidence, supporting an English learner, or challenging a student ready for more advanced work, I create engaging, personalized learning experiences that lead to measurable growth.

My tutoring style is warm, patient, and highly structured. I believe that students learn best when they feel supported and successful, so I prioritize building strong relationships and a positive learning environment. Over the years, I have seen students make significant progress in fluency, comprehension, and overall academic confidence through consistent, targeted instruction. I bring the same level of commitment, professionalism, and enthusiasm to tutoring that I bring to my classroom every day, and I love helping students discover what they are capable of achieving." less...
