"With a lifelong passion for education, I believe learning should be a joyful and rewarding experience. I take pride in creating an environment where students feel motivated and excited to reach their highest potential. My teaching philosophy centers on helping students achieve their goals, whether that means mastering a challenging subject or building confidence in their abilities.

I began tutoring at 16 and have worked professionally in the field since 2002. I've had the pleasure of teaching at Futures Academy, Seashore Academy, and Manzanita School, where I've sharpened my skills in creating personalized, engaging lessons for students of all ages. I bring extensive experience in Direct Instruction, Differentiated Instruction, Experiential Learning, Play-Based Learning, Project-Based Learning, and Collaborative Learning, and I frequently incorporate the Socratic Method to engage my students in critical thinking and meaningful dialogue.

Learning can be a joyful adventure! Together, we’ll unlock your student's potential, master challenges, and build confidence. I’m excited to be your guide on this rewarding journey—let’s make the educational experience both engaging and fun!" less...
