I’m a certified Texas teacher with a strong background in English Language Arts instruction for grades 4–8. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Government from the University of Texas at Austin and a supplemental bilingual certification in Spanish. For the past three years, I’ve taught middle school ELA in public schools, serving a diverse range of students—including English learners, students receiving special education services, and advanced readers—across both traditional and dual-language settings.

My students have consistently outperformed district benchmarks on standardized tests, including an 85% pass rate on the STAAR Reading exam. While I’m results-driven, I believe the most meaningful learning happens when students feel seen, heard, and empowered. That’s why my tutoring approach is centered on connection, confidence, and clarity. I focus on breaking down writing, grammar, and reading skills into accessible, student-friendly steps while building real-world relevance and engagement. I’ve tutored students one-on-one, led small group interventions, and created custom learning materials based on student needs and interests.

Whether your learner needs help understanding text structure, mastering grammar rules, or building a standout essay, I bring patience, humor, and high expectations to every session. My goal is not just to boost scores—but to help students truly enjoy the process of learning.

Essay Writing

I’m a certified English Language Arts teacher with years of experience teaching and tutoring essay writing for grades 6–8. I’ve taught writing as a core subject, focusing on structure, clarity, and voice, and I also support high school and college students with personal statements and academic essays. I’ve taken advanced writing courses in college and regularly help students revise and polish essays for entrance applications. Whether it’s building a strong thesis or refining final edits, I help students write with confidence and purpose.
