I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English, with academic training in literature, composition, and critical analysis. My education emphasized close reading, structured writing, and developing clear, well-supported arguments, which strongly informs how I tutor students in English, literature, and academic writing. I have also completed Montessori certification coursework, which introduced me to student-centered and alternative approaches to learning. This background allows me to adapt my instruction to different ages, learning styles, and academic goals.
My teaching experience includes both traditional and nontraditional educational settings. I have completed student teaching in classroom environments and have experience providing individualized academic support in one-on-one and small-group settings. I have worked in a Montessori school, where I supported students across a range of ages and abilities, including learners who benefit from flexible pacing and hands-on or discussion-based instruction. These experiences strengthened my ability to scaffold complex reading and writing skills in ways that feel approachable and manageable for students.
I have also taught English online through QKids, working with younger learners in a virtual, in both one-on-one and group formats. This experience sharpened my ability to communicate clearly, maintain engagement, and adjust instruction in real time. Across all of my teaching and tutoring work, my approach emphasizes clarity, encouragement, and practical strategies that help students build confidence alongside skill. I strive to help students understand not only what to do, but why, so they can apply their reading and writing skills independently as they progress academically.
