I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from Nova Southeastern University and two Master’s degrees from Florida Atlantic University—one in Special Education and the other in Exercise Science. I am a certified educator in the state of Florida with endorsements in Reading and Autism Spectrum Disorders, and professional certifications in Exceptional Student Education (K-12), Mathematics (5-9), Biology (6-12), and Social Sciences (6-12). My educational background equips me to support a wide range of learners with varying academic needs, from foundational skills to advanced subject matter.

Over the past decade, I have taught in diverse educational settings, including public schools, private schools, charter schools, and one-on-one environments. My roles have ranged from classroom teacher to principal, giving me a broad understanding of curriculum, student needs, and effective instructional strategies. I’ve worked extensively with students from elementary to high school and have provided tutoring in core subjects, executive functioning, and test prep (including SAT and ACT). I previously served as a testing and SSD coordinator, so I bring firsthand knowledge of accommodations and standardized testing strategies.

I tailor my tutoring to each student's goals, using a strength-based, student-centered approach. My sessions are structured yet flexible, incorporating visual aids, guided practice, and frequent check-ins to ensure understanding. Whether I’m helping a student build confidence in math, organize their thoughts in writing, or prepare for a major exam, my goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that fosters growth and independence.
