I am a Florida-certified K–6 teacher with endorsements in Reading, ESOL, and Exceptional Student Education (ESE). With over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I have helped thousands of students build skills in reading, math, and other core subjects. My background includes serving as a Reading Specialist, partnering with literacy researchers, and achieving some of the highest student growth scores in my district. I create engaging, individualized lessons that meet students where they are and help them grow in both skill and confidence.

I have taught and tutored students from kindergarten through middle school, including English language learners and students with special needs. My approach blends research-based strategies with interactive, hands-on learning to keep students motivated. I integrate adaptive technology, data-driven instruction, and creative activities to ensure concepts “click” and progress is measurable. Whether a student needs targeted intervention in reading, extra support in math, or enrichment to move beyond grade level, I design lessons that are personalized, clear, and enjoyable.

Above all, I believe in building positive relationships so students feel supported and capable of success. Parents appreciate my consistent communication, professionalism, and results-oriented mindset. I am passionate about helping students improve academically while developing the confidence to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm.
