I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. My academic training focused on language development, articulation, phonological awareness, early literacy foundations, and communication differences across childhood. Through my coursework and clinical observations, I developed a strong understanding of how children learn to read, process language, and express themselves effectively. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support both monolingual and bilingual students while being sensitive to the unique needs of diverse learners.

I have several years of experience working with children in preschool and elementary school settings, including students with special needs. My background includes supporting early reading skills, comprehension, vocabulary development, and structured learning routines in both classroom and one-on-one environments. I have worked in paid positions and volunteer roles, collaborating closely with teachers, therapists, and families to help students strengthen foundational academic and communication skills. My experience has allowed me to work with a wide range of learning styles and developmental levels.

My tutoring approach is individualized, patient, and evidence-based. I believe students learn best when they feel supported, encouraged, and confident. I incorporate repetition, positive reinforcement, and structured practice while keeping sessions engaging and developmentally appropriate. My goal is not only to help students improve academically, but also to build their confidence and independence as learners. I strive to create a warm and structured environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and celebrating their progress.

I have graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences and have experience working in a preschool environment. I enjoy working primarily with children ages 1–5, supporting early language, independence, and social-emotional development through Montessori-inspired practices. My approach emphasizes child-led learning, hands-on materials, structured routines, and respect for each child’s developmental pace. I focus on fostering autonomy, curiosity, and confidence while creating a calm and supportive learning environment.

My approach emphasizes structured routines, visual supports, goal-setting, and individualized scaffolding strategies. I focus on helping students build independence, confidence, and skills that transfer across academic and daily settings.
