I am an experienced educator with 15 years of teaching experience working with diverse learners in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I currently teach high school in Chicago, where I specialize in helping students strengthen their writing, analytical thinking, reading comprehension, study habits, and academic confidence. While my background includes Advanced Placement US History, my approach extends far beyond memorizing facts or preparing for exams. I believe strong academic skills are built through curiosity, communication, and critical thinking.

My teaching style is student-centered, engaging, and supportive. I understand that every student learns differently, so I work to adapt lessons to each student's individual needs, strengths, and goals. Whether a student needs help organizing essays, improving reading comprehension, preparing for a major exam, building confidence in humanities courses, or developing stronger study habits, I strive to create a learning environment where students feel challenged, encouraged, and capable of growth.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have experience mentoring students through project-based learning, public speaking, discussion-based learning, and academic writing. I am passionate about helping students not only improve academically, but also become more thoughtful, independent, and confident learners.
