ADHD

I am a licensed Massachusetts ELA educator with seven years of classroom experience working with students with ADHD and diverse learning needs in a public school setting. I have participated in ongoing professional development through Lynn Public Schools specifically focused on supporting students with learning disabilities and special needs, and I apply those evidence-based strategies daily in my instruction and tutoring practice. My approach with students with ADHD centers on structure, engagement, and flexibility — breaking tasks into manageable steps, building in movement and transitions, using high-interest content to maintain focus, and adjusting pacing in real time based on how the student is showing up that day. I understand that students with ADHD are not lacking effort or intelligence — they need an environment and an instructor who works with how their brain functions rather than against it, and that is exactly the kind of tutoring relationship I build.

Common Core

I am a licensed Massachusetts ELA educator with a DESE-approved teaching license and seven years of classroom experience designing and delivering Common Core-aligned instruction in reading, writing, language, and literacy. I have deep working knowledge of the Common Core ELA standards across grade bands and regularly build curriculum, assessments, and instructional materials that map directly to specific standards. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and Professional Editing and have experience differentiating Common Core instruction for diverse learners, including multilingual students and students with varying levels of academic readiness. Whether a student needs support meeting grade-level reading and writing standards or wants to strengthen specific skills within the Common Core framework, I build instruction that is both standards-aligned and genuinely engaging.

Creative Writing

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and have over seven years of experience teaching writing and literature to middle school, high school, and adult learners. I’ve led creative writing workshops in both academic and community settings, focusing on poetry, memoir, and narrative storytelling. As a published writer and professional copywriter, I bring both craft and real-world writing expertise to my teaching. My approach blends structure with creativity, helping students find their voice while building confidence and skill.

Dyslexia

I am a licensed Massachusetts ELA educator with seven years of classroom experience supporting students with diverse learning profiles, including students with dyslexia and language-based learning differences. My work with multilingual learners and students reading below grade level has given me deep practical experience with structured literacy approaches, multisensory reading instruction, and the kind of patient, individualized scaffolding that students with dyslexia need to build genuine confidence and skill. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and Professional Editing, a Massachusetts Teaching License with ESL and SEI endorsements, and a TESOL certification, and I am experienced working from IEP goals and diagnostic data to build targeted, structured reading plans. Whether a student is working on phonemic awareness, decoding, fluency, or reading comprehension, I meet them exactly where they are and build forward at a pace that works for them.

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a licensed Massachusetts educator with a DESE-approved teaching license and extensive experience tutoring elementary students in grades K through 6 across reading, writing, grammar, and foundational literacy skills. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and Professional Editing and have worked with elementary students at a wide range of levels, from early readers building phonics and decoding skills to advanced students ready for more challenging texts and writing tasks. My approach is patient, encouraging, and tailored to how each child learns best, with an emphasis on building genuine confidence alongside academic skill. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to support young learners and families across language backgrounds.

English

I am a licensed high school English teacher with seven years of experience teaching literature, writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and have extensive experience helping students analyze complex texts, develop strong essays, and improve their academic writing skills. I teach students across a wide range of proficiency levels, including multilingual learners and students who need additional support with reading and writing. My instruction focuses on building confidence, critical thinking, and clear communication while helping students succeed in both classroom assignments and standardized assessments.

ESL/ESOL

I am a licensed English teacher (grades 5–12) and TEFL/TESOL-certified educator with over five years of experience helping students develop their English language and literacy skills. As a Language Specialist and DE&I Educator at Lynn Classical High School, I design and deliver instruction focused on reading, writing, vocabulary development, speaking, listening, and academic language acquisition for diverse learners. I have extensive experience supporting English language learners, multilingual students, and students from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds. My approach emphasizes building confidence while strengthening foundational skills in reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, writing, and communication. I create individualized learning plans based on each student's goals, whether they are learning conversational English, improving academic English, preparing for school success, or developing stronger literacy skills. In addition to my classroom experience, I have designed bilingual curricula, facilitated small-group and one-on-one instruction, and provided personalized coaching and mentoring to help students become independent, successful learners. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, asking questions, and growing their English skills with confidence.

Essay Writing

As a licensed English educator with an MFA in Creative Writing, I have over seven years of experience helping students master academic essay writing. I teach structure, clarity, thesis development, and analytical writing skills across grade levels, from middle school to college prep. My approach emphasizes confidence, organization, and voice, whether students are writing literary analysis, persuasive essays, or personal statements. I also support multilingual learners and students who benefit from step-by-step scaffolding and real-time feedback.

Fiction Writing

I am a published author who is currently querying her second novel.

I’ve led workshops in schools and community settings that help writers develop voice, structure, and narrative craft. Whether you're just starting or polishing a manuscript, I create supportive, personalized lessons to help you grow with confidence.

My approach is both rigorous and supportive, meeting students where they are and guiding them toward confident, polished communication. Whether you’re prepping for exams, improving essays, or mastering English as a second language, I tailor each lesson to fit your goals and learning style.

Homeschool

As a licensed English educator with over seven years of experience, I’ve supported homeschool learners through customized curriculum, tutoring, and digital learning tools. I’ve worked with families to build flexible, personalized education plans aligned with academic goals, learning styles, and state standards. With a strong background in curriculum development, instructional design, and online platforms like Google Classroom and Schoology, I offer engaging, structured lessons in ELA, writing, and more. My approach emphasizes creativity, clarity, and confidence — helping homeschoolers thrive both academically and personally.
