Hi there! I’m Bridget, a passionate and certified K–6 educator in North Carolina with a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (graduating December 2025). Before transitioning into education, I spent over a decade in corporate banking—an experience that sharpened my communication and leadership skills. I chose to follow my calling to teach and haven’t looked back since.

I currently serve as a 5th-grade teacher and team lead, where I specialize in differentiated instruction, curriculum planning, and student engagement strategies. I’ve tutored students in grades K–6 both virtually and in-person, including through my mobile tutoring service, EmpowerEd Learning Hub. I’ve also led reading and math intervention sessions, created enrichment programming through STREAM camps, and supported students with special learning needs. My instructional style is creative, caring, and data-driven—focused on meeting each child where they are and building confidence through consistent progress.

Whether your child needs support with foundational skills, advanced enrichment, or testing strategies, I provide a welcoming, patient, and structured learning environment that encourages growth. I’d love to support your learner’s academic journey!

ADHD

ADHD

I am a current 5th grade classroom teacher and private tutor with experience supporting elementary students with ADHD and other attention needs. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (graduating December 2025). I design highly structured, engaging lessons that break skills into manageable steps, use multisensory strategies, and build in movement and brain breaks to keep students focused. In my tutoring sessions, I teach students practical tools for organization, time management, and self-monitoring while reinforcing reading and math skills aligned to their school curriculum. Families appreciate my calm, encouraging approach and the way I collaborate with them to create routines and goals that help their child gain confidence and independence.
Common Core

Common Core

I am a current 5th grade elementary teacher who plans all instruction using Common Core–aligned (or equivalent) standards for reading, writing, and math. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (graduating December 2025). I’m skilled at unpacking standards, identifying prerequisite skills, and turning them into clear, step-by-step lessons that make sense to students. In tutoring, I focus on helping learners understand exactly what a standard is asking, practice it in multiple ways, and apply it to tests, classwork, and real-life situations. I also communicate with families about goals and progress so everyone knows how our work connects back to classroom expectations.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a current 5th grade classroom teacher with experience working with students in grades K–6 in reading, math, writing, and study skills. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (graduating December 2025). I specialize in breaking down tricky concepts into clear, step-by-step instruction and providing plenty of guided practice so students feel successful. My lessons are aligned with state standards, but I always start with where your child is right now and build a plan around their specific needs and strengths. Families describe my style as warm, structured, and encouraging, I love helping students gain confidence and see themselves as capable learners
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

Certified elementary educator with experience teaching and tutoring 5th-grade math. Strong background in reinforcing foundational skills, including fractions, decimals, operations, word problems, and test readiness. Known for using engaging, student-friendly strategies that build confidence, improve understanding, and support long-term success.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I am a current 5th grade teacher and private tutor who helps K–6 homeschool families plan and teach core subjects with confidence. I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (graduating December 2025). I can design year-long or unit plans aligned to grade-level standards, create engaging daily lessons, and provide ready-to-use activities, assessments, and routines. During sessions, I work directly with students to teach new concepts, review tricky skills, and model strategies that parents can continue using between meetings. My approach is flexible and family-centered, so we can tailor pacing, curriculum choices, and learning styles to fit your child and your homeschool goals.
Phonics

Phonics

I am a current 5th grade classroom teacher and private tutor with extensive experience teaching early literacy and phonics to students in grades K–3. I have completed professional development in evidence-based reading instruction (including phonemic awareness, phonics, and decoding) and regularly work with students on skills such as blends, digraphs, vowel teams, and patterns like “qu.” In tutoring sessions, I use multisensory, structured routines to help children connect sounds to letters, read and spell high-frequency words, and apply phonics skills in real reading. My lessons are engaging, step-by-step, and tailored to each child’s level so they can build confidence and strong foundational reading skills.
Reading

Reading

I am a current 5th grade classroom teacher and private tutor with experience supporting readers from kindergarten through 6th grade. I use research-based literacy practices, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension strategies, to help children become confident, independent readers. I have extensive experience working with struggling readers and students with attention needs, and I’m skilled at breaking skills into small, achievable steps. My lessons are engaging, structured, and tailored to each child’s level so they can experience success and steady growth.
