I am a New York State-certified elementary teacher (Grades K-6) with six years of dedicated experience teaching 4th grade. Over the years, I have developed a deep expertise in elementary math, reading comprehension, and writing, helping students master foundational skills while preparing them for standardized assessments like the NY State ELA and Math Tests. My approach combines structured, standards-aligned instruction with engaging, student-centered methods—such as hands-on activities, visual learning tools, and real-world problem-solving—to make lessons both effective and enjoyable.
In addition to leading a full classroom, I have worked one-on-one and in small groups with students, providing personalized support in areas such as math fluency, critical reading, and essay writing. I use formative assessments to identify learning gaps and tailor my tutoring to each child’s unique needs, emphasizing growth mindset and confidence-building along the way. My experience spans diverse learners, including those who need reinforcement, enrichment, or test-taking strategies.
What I love most about tutoring is witnessing the moment a concept ‘clicks’ for a student—whether it’s solving a tricky word problem, crafting a strong paragraph, or simply realizing, ‘I can do this!’ I’m passionate about making learning accessible and empowering students to take ownership of their progress. If your child needs targeted support, homework help, or test prep, I’d love to help them succeed!
