I am passionate about working with children and helping them grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I am a graduate of Purdue University and a hired 4th grade teacher. My academic background has given me a strong understanding of child development, learning strategies, classroom support, and how to meet students where they are.

I have over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children in a variety of educational settings. I worked as a teacher’s aide in an elementary classroom, where I supported students across subject areas, provided one-on-one help, and led small group activities. When the classroom teacher went on maternity leave, I stepped into many of her responsibilities, including managing the classroom and guiding students through daily lessons. This experience helped me learn how to adapt instruction for different learners while maintaining a structured, positive classroom environment.

Outside of the traditional classroom, I have taught dance to children ages 3–14, worked in daycare settings, volunteered with Vacation Bible School, and provided tutoring and homework help as a nanny. These experiences have taught me how to make learning engaging, creative, and approachable. I enjoy breaking material down step by step, using encouragement to build confidence, and helping students feel capable even when something feels challenging.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, patient, and consistent. I focus on helping each child understand the material while also building important skills such as organization, study habits, independence, and confidence. Parents often tell me that I have a natural way of connecting with children, and that is one of the parts of teaching I value most.

Approved Subjects

Baseball

Baseball

This past summer, I worked as an assistant coach for a 12U baseball team, where I helped players build their skills in hitting, pitching, fielding, and teamwork. I have years of experience teaching and mentoring kids in different settings, and I know how to adapt drills and instruction to each player’s ability level. My coaching style is encouraging and hands-on — I focus on breaking down fundamentals into simple steps while also helping athletes build confidence, discipline, and a love for the game. Whether your child is brand new to baseball or looking to sharpen their competitive edge, I create a positive environment where they can grow as both players and individuals.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I have many years of experience teaching and mentoring children, including my title as a teacher’s aide in 4K, 5K, and 1st through 4th-grade classrooms, as well as tutoring 5th-grade math and other subjects. My background also includes teaching Taekwondo, tutoring, and leading youth programs, which has helped me learn how to make lessons engaging and tailored to each child’s learning style. I focus on building confidence while helping students master foundational math skills, creating a supportive environment where they feel encouraged and capable.
Fitness

Fitness

I have been teaching and leading fitness through Taekwondo, dance, and youth activities for nearly ten years. As a 4th Degree Black Belt and Master Instructor, I have led classes for children, teens, and adults, focusing on strength, conditioning, flexibility, and confidence building. In addition to martial arts, I have taught dance to students ages 3–14, incorporating cardio, coordination, and body awareness in a fun, engaging way. My approach combines discipline with encouragement — I create a positive environment where students can build lifelong healthy habits while improving their strength, endurance, and self-esteem.
Martial Arts

Martial Arts

I am a 4th Degree Black Belt and Master Instructor with nearly ten years of experience teaching Taekwondo to children, teens, and adults. I’ve taught forms, sparring, self-defense, and fitness in a way that makes training fun, safe, and supportive. My focus is on helping students build confidence, stay active, and enjoy learning new skills at their own pace.
Phonics

Phonics

I have experience supporting elementary students with early literacy skills, including phonics, phonemic awareness, decoding, spelling patterns, and reading fluency. Through my teacher preparation and classroom experience, I have worked with students on letter-sound correspondence, syllabication strategies, and reading comprehension in ways that are clear and age-appropriate. I focus on helping students build confidence by breaking reading skills into manageable steps and using practice that matches their needs. My background in elementary education allows me to connect phonics instruction to real reading and writing tasks.
Swimming

Swimming

I was a competitive swimmer for seven years and gained experience in all strokes, endurance training, and water safety. I have also worked with children and teens in many teaching roles, which has helped me develop a patient, encouraging style of instruction. Whether a student is just learning to feel comfortable in the water or looking to improve their technique, I create a supportive environment that focuses on both safety and skill-building. My goal is to help swimmers build confidence, stay active, and enjoy their time in the water.
