"I am a certified teacher and literacy specialist with over ten years of experience supporting students from kindergarten through high school. I hold a Master’s degree in Childhood Education and Literacy from Bank Street College of Education, along with teaching certifications in General Education and Literacy. My instructional approach is grounded in evidence-based, structured literacy practices, including Orton-Gillingham–informed instruction, to help students build strong decoding, fluency, and comprehension skills.
I have taught in classroom, small-group, and one-on-one settings, working with a wide range of learners, including students who struggle with reading and writing. As a literacy specialist and elementary educator, I designed individualized, data-driven lessons that addressed each student’s specific needs while building confidence and independence. My tutoring experience includes supporting K–12 students through personalized instruction focused on clear explanations, consistent practice, and meaningful progress.
Alongside my direct teaching work, I have extensive experience developing curriculum, assessments, and digital learning tools used in schools nationwide. This allows me to bring research-backed strategies and engaging materials into every tutoring session. I believe students learn best when instruction is structured, supportive, and responsive, and I strive to create a positive environment where students feel capable, motivated, and successful." less...
