"This past year, I’ve been so grateful to serve through the AmeriCorps Reading Corps program, where I’ve had the joy of working with elementary students in grades K–5. What started as reading support quickly grew into something bigger—I became a scholar coach, helping kids with all kinds of subjects, from math and science to writing and social studies. Each day has been a new adventure, filled with moments of laughter, learning, and discovery. Watching a child’s face light up when they understand something for the first time is the kind of reward that keeps me excited to show up every day.

Education has always been close to my heart. I graduated high school with a 3.8 GPA and was blessed to earn a four-year full-ride scholarship for education. But what means even more to me is the chance to inspire and encourage students as they find their own strengths. I’ll be returning to school myself next semester, but in the meantime, I want to keep sharing my love for learning in every way I can.

That’s why I’ve decided to start tutoring on my own. For me, tutoring isn’t just about homework help—it’s about building confidence, nurturing curiosity, and giving each child the tools they need to shine. I believe every student has something special to offer, and I’m excited to be a small part of their journey, sprinkling a little more knowledge and encouragement wherever I can." less...
