With over 15 years in education and coaching, I bring a wealth of experience to guide teens toward confident futures. Certified by the Florida Department of Education in Social Sciences (6-12) and endorsed in Gifted Education, I’ve honed my ability to connect with diverse learners in classroom and one-on-one settings. As a certified Highlands Ability Battery® and Strong Interest Inventory® practitioner, I specialize in helping students uncover their unique strengths and passions, crafting personalized paths to career and life success. My background equips me to inspire teens to navigate transitions with clarity, whether they’re preparing for college, exploring careers, or mastering essential life skills.
My tutoring approach is dynamic and student-centered, focusing on Career Skills Coaching for Teens and Life Skills and Financial Literacy. I’ve worked with high school students for over a decade, using experiential methods like goal-setting workshops, resume-building sessions, and mock interviews to build confidence and job readiness. For financial literacy, I teach practical skills—budgeting, saving, and understanding credit—through engaging activities like simulations, tailored to teens’ needs. I thrive on creating supportive, collaborative environments, whether one-on-one or in small groups, to foster growth and independence.
Having faced challenges like bullying in my own youth, I empathize with teens navigating obstacles and use this to build trust and motivation. My methods avoid rote memorization, instead leveraging creative problem-solving and real-world applications to make learning meaningful. For gifted learners, I design enriched, tailored plans to spark their potential. Whether guiding a teen to their dream career or equipping them with financial know-how, my goal is to empower them to take charge of their future with confidence and practical skills.
