I have a bachelor’s degree in English from Moravian University, with a double minor in History and Africana Studies. My academic training, paired with years of hands-on work in educational and childcare settings, has equipped me with the skills, patience, and creativity to help students of various ages succeed academically.

I have taught and supported learners in multiple roles, including assistant kindergarten teacher at Casa Guadalupe Center, pre-student teacher at William Penn Elementary, and daycare worker for several summers. These roles strengthened my abilities in lesson planning, classroom management, and adapting my approach to meet each child’s needs. I have worked with children ranging from toddlers to school-age students, providing homework assistance, leading group activities, and fostering a safe and engaging learning environment.

My tutoring style is interactive, encouraging, and tailored to each student’s learning style. I break down concepts into clear, manageable steps, and use creative methods—such as crafts, reading activities, and games—to keep lessons engaging. With a strong foundation in English and history, I offer targeted support in reading comprehension, writing, and critical thinking, while also helping students build confidence and a genuine love for learning.

African American Studies

I minored in African American Studies during college, gaining a solid foundation in Black history, culture, and social movements. Through coursework and research, I developed a deep understanding of the systemic challenges and achievements within African American communities. I enjoy helping students explore these topics thoughtfully and encouraging critical thinking about race, identity, and social justice.

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and have hands-on experience tutoring and teaching students in kindergarten through 6th grade. My background includes one-on-one tutoring, creating lesson plans, and leading engaging group activities in both school and childcare settings. I have worked as a tutor, assistant kindergarten teacher, pre-student teacher, and daycare worker, helping students improve academic skills, reading comprehension, and confidence.

I have several years of experience writing fiction across multiple genres, including fantasy, contemporary, and historical fiction. I specialize in crafting compelling narratives, strong character arcs, and immersive world-building.
