I am a Florida-certified teacher with a passion for helping students feel successful and confident in math. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University with a minor in Mathematics. I hold Florida teaching certifications in Elementary Education K–6 and Mathematics 5–9. I currently teach fifth-grade math, including advanced mathematics, and have several years of experience working with elementary students in the classroom.
My tutoring approach is patient, supportive, and tailored to the individual student. I know that the same explanation does not work for every learner, so I use different strategies, visual models, guided practice, questioning, and real-world examples to help students truly understand the math they are learning rather than simply memorize steps. I can support students who need to strengthen foundational skills, work through challenging concepts, complete homework, prepare for assessments, or receive additional enrichment.
Through my classroom experience, I have worked with students with a wide range of academic abilities and learning needs through whole-group, small-group, and individualized instruction. I use student work and performance to identify gaps, reteach skills in different ways, and build on what a student already understands. My goal during tutoring is to create an encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes while developing stronger math skills, confidence, and independence.
