I hold a Master’s in Education from Portland State University and have been a licensed elementary educator in Oregon since 2015. With nearly ten years of full-time teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with students in grades K–8 across a wide range of subjects, including reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. My professional background spans public and charter schools, and I’ve consistently adapted my instruction to meet diverse learning styles and cultural backgrounds. I graduated with honors and have also served in leadership roles, including as a District Teacher Technology Leader, where I supported instructional strategies and implementing digital tools to bridge learning gaps, and to make it accessible and fun!
My approach to tutoring elementary students is grounded in patience, enthusiasm, structure, and personalized support. I use hands-on and visual strategies to help learners connect new concepts to prior knowledge—especially in math, where I often rely on number lines, manipulatives, and array models to build a solid foundation. In reading and writing, I emphasize fluency, comprehension, and voice, using guided practice and collaborative learning to build confidence and skills. I’ve taught in both classroom and 1-on-1 settings, and I truly enjoy helping young learners feel seen, supported, and proud of their growth. Whether I’m supporting early readers or helping upper elementary students master multi-step math problems, I tailor every session to the learner’s pace and goals.
