My educational background equips me to tutor effectively in English, writing, and humanities. I hold a Master of Arts in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a Bachelor of Science in Education with a concentration in English and Creative Writing from the University of Miami. My certification in Elementary Education K-6 for Florida is pending fingerprint results, and then I’ll be good to go! This academic foundation enables me to present complex concepts in writing and humanities in a clear and engaging manner for students.

I have teaching and tutoring experience primarily with elementary and middle school students. From 2017 to 2018, I worked as an associate teacher at The Quad Preparatory School, providing tailored instruction in writing, humanities, and math to gifted students with special needs. I employed individualized methods, such as hands-on activities and creative exercises, to address diverse learning styles and led a theatre enrichment group to foster creative expression. Additionally, from 2015 to 2016, I served as a curriculum developer at Oddcast, creating interactive lessons aligned with Common Core Standards to make learning engaging and accessible. My teaching approach emphasizes building confidence and curiosity, whether in one-on-one or small group settings, making me well-suited to tutor students aged 6 to 14 in classroom or personalized contexts.

I hold a Statement of Eligibility in Elementary Education (Grades K-6) and a B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education/English-Creative Writing from the University of Miami, along with an M.A. in Instructional Technology from Teachers College, Columbia University. My grammar expertise spans classroom teaching, curriculum development for EngageNY-aligned ELA lessons, and writing official assessment items for the Indiana State Assessment as an Item Writer for Pearson Education. I also spent time as a Writing Lab Coordinator auditing essays against standardized rubrics and authoring FCAT practice test answer explanations, giving me a strong eye for grammar mechanics at every grade level. Whether a student needs help with sentence structure basics or polishing writing for a standardized test, I tailor instruction to their specific gaps.

Writing

I bring a rare blend of classroom teaching and professional writing experience, holding a B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education/English-Creative Writing from the University of Miami and an M.A. in Instructional Technology from Teachers College, Columbia University. As a freelance writer for Write Label, I contributed dozens of creative pieces for brands and media companies, earning multiple editor features and consistently ranking among top-performing writers on the platform. I’ve also tutored students one-on-one in writing, provided writing lab support reviewing and editing college and high school essays, and developed ELA curriculum and lesson plans for grades K-6. This mix of real-world publishing experience and hands-on teaching means I can help students strengthen everything from basic sentence-level writing to more advanced creative and academic pieces.
