Bio

My teaching style focuses on helping students genuinely understand concepts rather than just memorize answers.

I’m a certified K–8 teacher with a bachelor’s degree in education and experience working with students in both classroom and one-on-one settings. My teaching style focuses on helping students genuinely understand concepts rather than just memorize answers. I believe learning should feel empowering, not overwhelming—and I do everything I can to meet students where they’re at, building their confidence and skills along the way.

I’ve taught in three different school settings, gaining experience with a wide range of learners, including students with special needs and those who struggle with traditional instruction. I also have firsthand experience raising and teaching my own young children, which has deepened my understanding of child development, patience, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive learning environment.

Whether it’s building a strong foundation in elementary subjects or helping a middle schooler push through a tough concept, I bring a calm and clear approach that works. If you’re looking for someone reliable, consistent, and passionate about your student’s success, I’d love to help.

I’ve supported students at various levels of proficiency and pride myself on making Common Core content accessible and engaging. Whether your child is catching up or looking for enrichment, I’m equipped to help.

Elementary (K-6th)

I hold a bachelor’s degree in education and am certified to teach all elementary grades. I have taught and tutored K–6 students in both classroom and one-on-one settings, helping them develop core academic skills in math, reading, science, and more. My focus is on building confidence, making learning fun, and using individualized methods to help students truly understand the material. I’m patient, flexible, and committed to each student’s growth.

Essay Writing

As a certified K–8 educator, I’ve helped students develop clear, well-structured essays that express their thoughts with confidence. My approach focuses on guiding students through brainstorming, organizing ideas, and strengthening their voice in both personal and academic writing. I have worked with a variety of grade levels and abilities, always tailoring instruction to the student’s current level and goals. Whether it’s a five-paragraph essay or a reflective piece, I can help make the writing process feel natural and manageable.
