My educational journey began with an EDs Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from National Louis University where I developed a passion for helping students unlock their full potential. As a certified teacher currently working within the Chicago Public School system, I have spent 5 years in the classroom witnessing firsthand how small learning gaps can quickly grow into a loss of confidence for a child. I specialize in identifying these exact "missing links" in a student's foundation and creating a tailored roadmap to bridge them. My background is rooted in the belief that every child can thrive when given the individual attention and high-level instructional strategies that a busy classroom setting cannot always provide.
In my one-on-one sessions, I move beyond simple homework help to provide deep, conceptual understanding. I have extensive experience working with students in the K-7th range, particularly in Reading and Math, where I use a diagnostic approach to see exactly where a child is struggling. I utilize a "scaffolding" method, where I break down complex, frustrating topics into manageable, successful steps. This shift from "I can't do this" to "I understand why this works" is where true academic growth happens. By fostering a supportive and engaging environment, I help my students regain their classroom confidence and build the independent study habits they need for long-term success.
Throughout my career, I have successfully navigated the nuances of both in-person and digital learning, ensuring that my remote sessions are just as interactive and results-oriented as being in the same room. I am deeply familiar with the current standards and expectations of local schools, which allows me to align my tutoring directly with what your child is seeing in their daily lessons. Whether your student is looking to catch up, keep up, or get ahead, my goal is to provide a premium educational experience that is empathetic to the student’s needs and highly effective in delivering measurable progress.
