"I'm Amani, a licensed K-6 educator and academic tutor focused on helping students build confidence in their learning, close knowledge gaps, and master essential skills.

With 10+ years of experience in recreational community centers, classroom teaching, and one-on-one tutoring, I specialize in turning struggling students into independent, enthusiastic learners. My approach blends structured academic support with a focus on self-confidence, because when children believe in their abilities, their growth soars.

Degrees: B.S. in Elementary Education + M.S. in Curriculum and Development

Classroom Experience: 1 year as a special education paraprofessional at a charter school, 1 year as an upper elementary student aide at a private school, 4 years as a 3rd-grade teacher (public school)

Tutoring Expertise: 5+ years, K-5 grade core subjects (math, reading, writing)

Beyond the Classroom: Former camp counselor, after-school instructor, and mentor for the City of Las Vegas

During each tutoring session, we will focus on:

1. Targeted Skill-Building: Pre-assessments to identify gaps and personalized SMART goals track progress.

2. PAR Method (Plan, Apply, Review): A clear cycle to reinforce learning and independence.

3. Engaging Practice: Interactive lessons tailored to student needs. Lessons that boost confidence, reading comprehension, math fluency, and critical thinking, and are aligned with CCSS or state grade-level standards.

When scheduling with me, you can expect direct and transparent communication about your child’s areas of academic growth and needs. I believe in helping children challenge their negative views of learning and achieve their goals in a supportive, judgment-free zone where mistakes are embraced as learning opportunities.

If you want to help your student close a learning gap, boost their confidence, and get ahead, book a session with me!" less...
