"I hold a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and bring over 12 years of classroom teaching experience to my tutoring. I am also completing my second year of intensive LETRS training, which focuses on literacy and the science of reading. My passion for education began early, and I have since worked with a wide range of learners, helping them develop confidence and skills across core subjects, particularly in math and reading. My background also includes teaching English to Chinese students online through VIPKid for two years, which strengthened my ability to adapt lessons to diverse learning styles and cultural contexts.

Over the years, I have taught students from preschool through middle school, with a strong emphasis on hands-on and individualized learning approaches. In math, I excel at helping students who struggle by breaking down concepts into clear, manageable steps and making the content relatable. I have successfully implemented programs like i-Ready and IXL, both in my own classroom and by coaching fellow educators on how to integrate these tools effectively. My tutoring style is rooted in patience, encouragement, and creating a safe space for students to ask questions and take risks in their learning.

Whether I am working one-on-one or in a group setting, I prioritize building a strong foundation of understanding rather than rote memorization. My ultimate goal is to help students not only improve their academic performance but also develop the confidence to tackle challenges independently. By tailoring lessons to each student’s needs, interests, and learning pace, I strive to make every session engaging, productive, and empowering." less...
