I’m a language-loving educator with ten years of experience helping students grow as readers, writers, and communicators. I’ve spent five years teaching in the classroom and another five tutoring students one-on-one and in small groups, and I still live for the “aha!” moments that come with learning. I hold a master’s degree in sociolinguistics (how language actually works in the real world!), and my thesis focused on language curriculum development. This background shapes how I teach: I see language as something flexible, meaningful, and deeply connected to who we are, not just a list of rules to memorize.
I’ve taught in special education, general education, and ESL settings, which means I’m comfortable meeting students exactly where they are—and making learning feel approachable and fun. I’m known for being encouraging, adaptable, and a little nerdy about language. Whether we’re building reading confidence, strengthening writing skills, or tackling academic English, I focus on creating a supportive space where students feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. My goal is for students to leave sessions feeling more confident, more capable, and more excited about learning than they were before.
