"I am a certified teacher with a passion for helping young learners build strong academic foundations and a love for learning. Although my bachelor’s degree is in Criminal Justice, my career path led me to education, and it has become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Since entering the classroom, I have received a highly effective teaching rating, been recognized as a Model Classroom, and have been honored with the Focus on Excellence Award. These acknowledgments reflect my commitment to creating a positive learning environment where students thrive.

My teaching experience includes working with early elementary students in both whole-group classrooms and one-on-one support settings. I believe every child learns differently, so I tailor instruction to meet individual needs—whether a student is developing early reading skills, strengthening comprehension, practicing writing, or building early math understanding. I have worked with students who are emergent readers, English language learners, and those who benefit from additional support or alternative learning strategies.

During tutoring sessions, I focus on encouragement, step-by-step instruction, and meaningful practice so learning feels engaging and achievable. My goal is not only to improve academic skills but also to help students build confidence, independence, and a mindset that mistakes are part of learning—not something to fear. I look forward to supporting your child’s growth and helping them feel successful and proud of their progress." less...
