I am an experienced middle school social studies teacher with 8 years of classroom experience working with a wide range of learners. I currently teach both general education and inclusion classes, which has given me a strong ability to adapt lessons to meet individual student needs, learning styles, and confidence levels.

I earned my degree in History from Montclair State University and bring a deep content knowledge combined with practical, student-centered teaching strategies. After college, I also interned at the Paterson Museum, where I helped connect historical content to real-world artifacts and stories—an experience that continues to influence how I make history engaging and meaningful for students.

I have a strong passion for medieval history, world history, American history, and U.S. government, and I enjoy helping students not only understand historical facts, but also develop critical thinking, reading comprehension, and writing skills connected to social studies.

As a tutor, my goal is to create a supportive, low-stress learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. Whether a student needs help with homework, test preparation, organizing notes, or strengthening core skills, I tailor each session to their individual needs and pace.

I truly believe in the value of education and have a genuine passion for teaching, which shows in my patience, preparation, and commitment to helping students succeed.
