My path in education is rooted in over eight years of hands-on experience teaching in self-contained elementary classrooms, where I have spent my career working directly with students in grades three through six. I hold a Master's degree in Educational Technology alongside active state teaching certifications in three different states. Throughout my classroom career, I have taught the full spectrum of core academic subjects—including elementary mathematics, general science, reading comprehension, and writing mechanics. In addition to my general classroom background, I have earned specialized professional endorsements in Reading, Gifted Education, and English Language Learners (ELL), which allow me to tailor my instruction to support diverse learning styles, advanced enrichment needs, and language development.
My teaching approach is centered around breaking down complex, overwhelming topics into manageable, bite-sized pieces so that students can build genuine confidence rather than frustration. Whether I am helping a student master word problems in math, structure a clear essay, or improve their reading fluency, I focus on meeting them right at their current academic level. I believe that one-on-one instruction should be patient, encouraging, and adaptable, shifting dynamically to match how each individual child naturally absorbs and processes information.
