I am an educator with experience working with children across a wide range of ages and abilities. I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and my master's degree in Behavior Analysis, which have provided me with a strong foundation in both instructional practices and evidence-based strategies for supporting student learning and behavior. I have taught 2nd grade and have also worked in daycare settings with children ranging from 6 weeks old to 13 years old. These experiences have helped me develop strong classroom management skills, adapt instruction to meet diverse needs, and create positive learning environments where students feel supported and successful.
Currently, I work at a charter school that serves students with autism, where I support learners with a variety of academic, behavioral, and communication needs. This role has strengthened my ability to differentiate instruction, provide individualized support, and build meaningful relationships with students and families. My background in behavior analysis allows me to use data-driven, individualized approaches to help students overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve meaningful progress.
My tutoring approach is centered on the "I Do, We Do, You Do" method of instruction. First, I model the skill or concept and demonstrate exactly how to complete it. Next, I work through examples alongside the student, providing guidance and support as they practice. Finally, I encourage the student to apply the skill independently while I monitor progress and provide feedback as needed. This gradual release model helps students develop understanding, confidence, and independence. My goal is not only to help students master specific academic skills but also to equip them with strategies that will support lifelong learning and success. I strive to create a supportive, encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and celebrating their growth.
