"I am an experienced educator with over 18 years of teaching and administrative experience, currently serving as an Assistant Principal at a middle school in California. I hold a bachelor’s degree in education and a California teaching credential, along with additional certifications in instructional leadership and special education oversight. My background includes years as a classroom teacher, primarily in mathematics, where I taught students from grades 9 –12, and supported a wide range of learners, from those needing remediation to advanced-level students.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students in both one-on-one and group settings, tailoring my approach to meet individual needs. I specialize in creating engaging, student-centered lessons that build foundational skills while fostering critical thinking and confidence. My methods often include breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps, integrating real-world examples, and using questioning strategies that help students articulate their thinking. I have also supported students with learning differences, developing strategies that align with their strengths and help them overcome challenges.

My experience extends beyond the classroom into mentoring teachers, designing curriculum, and using data to drive instructional decisions. I understand that each student learns differently, and I believe in meeting them where they are while setting high expectations for growth. Whether preparing for exams, improving subject mastery, or building study habits, my goal is to empower students with the skills, mindset, and confidence to succeed both academically and personally." less...
