About

With 15 years of experience lighting up middle and high school classrooms, Iā€™m not just teaching Englishā€”Iā€™m helping students find their voice, fall in love with language, and tell their stories with power and purpose. But my impact doesnā€™t stop at the classroom door. During my time as an elementary teacher and admissions advisor, I gained extensive one-on-one and small group tutoring experienceā€”supporting students in reading, writing, and math with lessons tailored to their unique learning styles. Whether working with emerging readers, building foundational math skills, or adapting strategies for students with special education needs, I made learning personal, patient, and powerful. šŸŒ ESL champion? āœ… šŸ–ļø Fluent in ASL? āœ… šŸ¤ Advocate for individualized instruction, clear communication, and inclusive classrooms? Absolutely. My approach blends high-energy teaching with quiet moments of encouragementā€”building confidence, fostering independence, and celebrating every milestone. Through close collaboration with families and faculty, Iā€™ve helped learners grow not just academically, but personally. Because for me, education isnā€™t just about standardsā€”itā€™s about students. And every student deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered. Letā€™s make learning unforgettable. šŸ’«
