Hi! I am Vanessa: A seasoned educator who graduated from Illinois State University with my degree in Social Science Secondary Education. In addition to that, I also earned my masters degree in International Education through Framingham State University.

Throughout the last decade, my experiences have plotted me around the globe in places like Chicago, California, and Guatemala. With a background spanning English, US and World History, Philosophy, Sociology, World Geography, and Psychology, I bring a multifaceted approach to education. My expertise extends beyond traditional subjects to include support for students requiring assistance with executive functioning skills. I also excel in classrooms catering to diverse learning needs. As a dedicated tutor, I've guided students across all grade levels to success, offering comprehensive support in every subject- typically specializing in reading and writing.

Beyond the classroom, I've left an indelible mark as a Summer Camp Director for six years, fostering a nurturing environment for growth and exploration. Additionally, my role as a coach and sponsor of clubs such as Diversity Club, Student Council, and Model United Nations underscores my commitment to holistic student development.

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I have been teaching US History for 3 years and this year I am a AP US History teacher. I consider myself an expert on all US history subjects, including historical writing and analysis.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

For the past three years, I was living in Guatemala teaching solely ESL students. As a Social Studies and English teacher, I had to incorporate ESL techniques daily in my lesson plans. I feel very confident in my ability to improve the English skills of my students.
Grammar

Grammar

As an English teacher for two years, I feel confident in my ability to improve grammar and punctuation of writers of all ages. Whether that entails simple writing improvement for high school, preparation for college, or the job force, I can enhance your abilities in fun and easy ways!
Study Skills

Study Skills

I have a masters degree, 7 years experience teaching high school, and I have tutored for over 2 years a variety of students. I have also been an advisor for 6 years which encourages support and guidance for study skills as well as socio-emotional learning.
World History

World History

I have taught world history for two years at two different age groups. My AP history teaching experience has provided me with experience working on specific historical skills.
Writing

Writing

As an AP US history teacher, I pride myself on my ability to help students organize, focus, and enhance their writing. Anything from attention getters to concluding thoughts is my forte. Especially at the high school level, I want to work on ensuring students move past the ability to summarize and instead are able to analyze, synthesize and argue a successful point. My overall goal is to make students feel confident in their writing. Nothing feels better than being proud of the piece you produced.
