"Educational Background:

I hold two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of New Orleans, one in Philosophy and the other in Film Arts.

Tutoring/Teaching Experience:

I have 11 years of teaching experience, with 7 years dedicated to small group and one on one tutoring 4th–9th grade students in mathematics. I also served as the Director of Middle School Math Intervention, where I coached other math teachers to improve instructional practices and student outcomes. My approach focuses on assessing student understanding, identifying misconceptions, and using foundational skills aligned to grade-level standards to guide students to mastery.

Contextual Details:

I have worked with students aged 8–15 in various settings, including one-on-one tutoring in libraries, online instruction, and both volunteer and paid tutoring programs. Throughout my career, I have helped students achieve significant academic growth, including leading the highest percentage of growth in state test results for three consecutive years at my school. One notable success includes helping a student from Honduras with limited English and no prior schooling progress from numeral recognition to mastering multiplication within a year." less...
