Hello! I’m a certified Middle School English Language Arts teacher with 28 years of classroom experience and a passion for helping students unlock their full academic potential—especially those who may feel like school "just isn't their thing."
I earned my Bachelor's degree in Middle School Education from Illinois State University, followed by a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from National Louis University. Over the years, I’ve worked with hundreds of students in middle and high school, tailoring my approach to meet diverse learning styles, academic levels, and personal interests.
Whether your child is struggling with reading comprehension, writing structure, grammar, or literary analysis, I bring patience, structure, and encouragement to every session. My specialty is motivating underperforming or reluctant learners—helping them build both skills and confidence.
As a parent of a child who faced challenges in school due to ADHD, I also understand how important it is to find the right support. I bring both professional and personal experience when working with students who need extra guidance or attention to executive functioning and learning strategies.
Let’s work together to help your student not only improve their English skills, but also feel empowered in the learning process!
