I am a licensed elementary teacher with 8 years of classroom experience, including 7 years in first grade and additional experience in 4th and 6th grade. I have a strong background in teaching foundational reading and math skills, as well as supporting students with diverse learning needs. I am familiar with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans, and I tailor my instruction to meet each child where they are.

My tutoring approach is patient, supportive, and highly individualized. I take time to understand how each student learns best and adjust my teaching methods accordingly. I specialize in early literacy, including phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension, as well as building strong math foundations. I also focus on helping students gain confidence and develop a positive attitude toward learning by celebrating small successes and making lessons engaging and meaningful.

I have experience working with a wide range of learners in both classroom and one-on-one settings. I communicate regularly with parents to provide updates and strategies that can be used at home to support progress. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel encouraged, capable, and motivated to grow.

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a licensed elementary teacher with 8 years of classroom experience, including 7 years teaching first grade and additional experience in 4th and 6th grade. I have a strong foundation in teaching reading and math skills aligned to elementary standards, and I am experienced in differentiating instruction to meet a wide range of student needs. I am also familiar with supporting students with IEPs and 504 plans. In my classroom, I focus on building strong foundational skills in reading, including phonics, fluency, and comprehension, as well as helping students develop confidence in math through hands-on strategies and clear problem-solving methods. I use a variety of instructional approaches to meet each student where they are and help them grow at their own pace. I have experience working with students in both whole group and one-on-one settings and understand the importance of creating a supportive and engaging learning environment. I also communicate with families to share progress and provide strategies that can be used at home to reinforce learning.

I played 7 years of competitive travel volleyball and was a 4 year varsity starter in high school. I earned a volleyball scholarship and competed at the collegiate level for all four years. I began coaching in high school, continued coaching and running clinics in college, and later served as the head varsity volleyball coach for both girls and boys at a Chicago Public High School for two years. I have also coached at the elementary level for 6 years, focusing on skill development, fundamentals, and building confidence in athletes of all levels.
