"I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and am a certified middle school teacher. Over the past year, I have gained valuable experience within the school system, teaching students ranging from 5th to 8th grade. My teaching journey began as a substitute teacher, progressed to a long-term substitute role, and I am now preparing to step into a full-time teaching position this coming fall.

Throughout this time, I have worked in various educational capacities, including paraprofessional and teaching assistant positions, which have enriched my understanding of student needs and classroom dynamics. This diverse background allows me to create personalized, effective lesson plans tailored to each student’s unique learning style and goals.

I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve academic success, especially in middle school science and related subjects. My approach is patient, engaging, and focused on fostering a supportive learning environment." less...
