With a PhD in Organizational Leadership, an MBA, and a BA in Communications with a minor in English, I bring both academic expertise and real-world teaching experience to my tutoring sessions. Over the past decade, I have taught marketing, business strategy, and professional interviewing skills to undergraduate and graduate students in both traditional classroom settings and online environments. My background in organizational leadership allows me to help students not only understand business concepts but also apply them strategically in academic projects and future career endeavors.
In addition to my work with college students, I have over twenty years of experience tutoring K-12 students in reading and writing. I developed a proprietary phonics-based curriculum that has helped toddlers become proficient readers as early as age two, and I've successfully worked with elementary, middle, and high school students to build strong literacy foundations and advanced comprehension skills. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, I tailor my approach to each student's learning style and pace, ensuring they feel supported and confident as they progress.
My tutoring philosophy centers on making learning engaging, immersive, and fun so that concepts move beyond memorization and become part of students' natural skill set. I use a patient, structured, and encouraging approach that helps students of all ages feel comfortable asking questions and taking academic risks. What makes me effective as a tutor is my ability to genuinely connect with each student, whether they're a toddler just learning their letters or a graduate student preparing for a career in business. I'm passionate about helping students discover their potential and achieve their goals.
