"I am a graduate of Bank Street College with a Master of Applied Science in Education and I specialize in teaching math, reading, and writing. Over the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of teaching students ranging from early elementary to high school age. This diverse age range has allowed me to adapt my teaching strategies to meet the developmental needs of each group, ensuring that my lessons are both engaging and effective.

Throughout my teaching journey, I have had the privilege of working in a variety of environments that have shaped my approach to education. In traditional classrooms, I strive to create a collaborative atmosphere where every student feels valued and included. I believe that when students work together, they not only learn from me but also from each other, fostering a sense of community.

In my one-on-one tutoring sessions, I focus on each student's unique needs. I take the time to understand their individual challenges and strengths, allowing me to tailor my teaching methods to help them succeed. This personalized approach has proven to be incredibly rewarding, as I see my students grow and gain confidence in their abilities.

I don't believe in a fixed definition of intelligence. I believe that every learner has a unique composition of strengths that is worthy of respect, and that's what I use to create the foundation for personalized instruction. My philosophy centers on the idea that learning is a dynamic process, and with the right encouragement and support, anyone can achieve their academic goals. I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential and develop a love for learning." less...
