I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English-related studies and am currently completing an MFA in Creative Writing (Poetry). My academic training focuses on literacy development, writing instruction, critical reading, and communication skills. I have also served as an instructor at the college level, teaching ENC 1101, where I supported students in academic writing, argumentation, and composition skills.

I have several years of teaching and tutoring experience working with students from early elementary through college level in classroom, after-school, microschool, and one-on-one settings. I specialize in reading comprehension, writing development, and foundational grammar skills, using scaffolded instruction, modeling, and guided practice to meet individual learning needs. My approach is student-centered and adaptable, emphasizing skill-building, confidence, and clear, supportive instruction tailored to each student’s age and learning context.
