"Hi! I’m a dedicated tutor with over 17 years of experience helping students of all ages build strong reading and writing skills. Whether your child is just learning to read, needs support with essay writing, or is learning English as a second language, I bring a personalized and encouraging approach to every session.

I specialize in:

Phonics & fluency

Reading comprehension strategies

Vocabulary development

Writing skills, including organization, grammar, and style

Right now, I work closely with English Language Learners, helping them gain confidence and fluency in English through direct, hands-on instruction. I love watching students grow into capable, self-assured communicators.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from Cal State Long Beach, with a focus on classroom interaction. I’ve also completed the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential Program and have received additional training as both a Reading Specialist and a Behavioral Interventionist. Over the years, I’ve taught in classrooms, small groups, and one-on-one settings—each experience strengthening my ability to meet learners where they are.

My teaching philosophy is simple: every student can grow with the right support. I create a warm, positive space where mistakes are part of the learning process, and every small win is worth celebrating.

Let’s work together to build confidence, spark curiosity, and make learning enjoyable again." less...
