Bio

I have spent over a decade in education — first as a Social Studies teacher across Cobb, Fulton, and Sarasota County schools, and now as a high school counselor at Lambert High School in the Atlanta area. During my nine years in the classroom, I taught AP US History, AP Psychology, World History, U.S. History, Honors U.S. History, and Government, including two years delivering the Cambridge AICE Diploma curriculum. I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of...

I have spent over a decade in education — first as a Social Studies teacher across Cobb, Fulton, and Sarasota County schools, and now as a high school counselor at Lambert High School in the Atlanta area. During my nine years in the classroom, I taught AP US History, AP Psychology, World History, U.S. History, Honors U.S. History, and Government, including two years delivering the Cambridge AICE Diploma curriculum. I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction from the University of Kansas, a second Master's in School Counseling from Liberty University, and state certifications spanning History, Political Science, Economics, Geography, and Behavioral Science.

What sets me apart isn't just subject knowledge — it's that I understand how students actually learn. I've worked with inclusion classrooms, ELL students, gifted learners, and everyone in between. At Milton High School, I taught AP US History to 100+ students per year with a discussion-based model built around critical thinking and analytical writing, the exact skills that make or break AP exam scores. My approach to tutoring mirrors what worked in those classrooms: meeting students where they are, making content relevant, and building genuine confidence through mastery rather than memorization.

As a school counselor of three years, I now see the full picture of a student's academic journey — the stressors, the gaps, and what it actually takes to succeed beyond the test. Whether your student needs help with AP exam prep, understanding a difficult concept, or building the study skills and habits that carry them through high school and into college, I bring both the classroom expertise and the counseling perspective to make sessions meaningful and productive.

Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

As a current high school counselor serving a caseload of 400+ students in grades 9–12, I provide personalized college planning support at every stage of the process — from building a balanced and realistic college list, to crafting a compelling personal narrative, to navigating financial aid, deadlines, and decision-making. My background as a longtime Social Studies and AP teacher gives me a distinct advantage: I understand the academic rigor colleges expect, what strong analytical writing looks like, and how to coach students through the kind of reflective thinking that makes a college essay genuinely stand out. I hold a Master's degree in School Counseling and work closely with families to make the college search process feel manageable rather than overwhelming, tailoring my approach to each student's goals, strengths, and circumstances. Whether a family is just beginning to think about college fit in 9th grade or is deep in applications as a senior, I bring the professional expertise and one-on-one attention that students often don't get in an overcrowded school counseling office.
Government & Politics

Government & Politics

My understanding of government and civics runs throughout my entire decade in Social Studies education, woven deeply into the U.S. History and World History courses I taught across middle and high school — subjects that are fundamentally about how societies, governments, and political systems are built, challenged, and transformed. While I did teach a dedicated Government course, my approach to civics has always been integrated: helping students connect constitutional principles, political institutions, and civic participation to the historical events and global contexts that give those concepts real meaning. This cross-disciplinary foundation means I can help students understand government not as an isolated subject but as something with deep historical roots, which tends to make the material more intuitive and easier to retain. Whether a student is working through the branches of government, separation of powers, foreign policy, or comparative political systems, I bring the context and instructional experience to make those connections clear.
Psychology

Psychology

I taught AP Psychology for five years at the high school level, reaching 60+ students per year through an instructional approach centered on real-world application and experiential learning — the two pillars that make psychological concepts genuinely stick for students preparing for the AP exam. My lessons consistently connected course material to students' everyday lives, which not only increased engagement but deepened conceptual understanding of units ranging from biological bases of behavior to social psychology and abnormal psychology. As a certified Behavioral Science educator and current school counselor, I bring an added layer of insight to this subject — I don't just teach the theory, I apply it professionally, which makes me uniquely positioned to help students see the "why" behind what they're studying. Whether a student needs help with content review, free-response strategies, or building a study plan for the AP exam, I can tailor sessions to exactly where they are and where they need to be.
Social Studies

Social Studies

My Social Studies background spans over a decade of classroom experience across middle and high school, covering a wide range of subjects including U.S. History, World History, AP US History, AP Psychology, Government, and Georgia History — at on-level, honors, gifted, and Advanced Placement levels. I hold state certifications in History, Political Science, Economics, Geography, and Behavioral Science, which means my content knowledge runs deep across the full Social Studies spectrum rather than being limited to a single course. I have taught in inclusion model classrooms alongside co-teachers, worked with ELL students, and differentiated instruction for gifted learners, so I'm well-equipped to meet students at their individual level and adjust my tutoring approach accordingly. As a current high school counselor, I understand the broader academic pressures students face and bring both subject-matter expertise and a student-centered, supportive approach to every session.
United States History

United States History

Over the course of nine years in the classroom, I taught U.S. History at the on-level, honors, and AP levels, as well as through the rigorous Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Diploma program — giving me experience differentiating instruction for a wide range of learners and academic demands. In my AP US History courses, I taught 100+ students per year using a discussion-based model centered on critical thinking, analytical writing, and the kind of document analysis skills that translate directly to high exam scores. My honors and on-level U.S. History courses emphasized literacy-focused curriculum design, and my intentional instructional approach helped raise standardized test scores by 20% among my students. Now serving as a high school counselor, I bring not only deep content knowledge but also an understanding of how students learn, where they struggle, and what strategies actually build lasting confidence and skill in this subject.
