"With over 18 years of experience in education, I bring a wealth of expertise to tutoring, rooted in both my educational background and practical teaching experience. I hold a Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education, a Master of Arts in Sociology, and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a concentration in Journalism from William Paterson University. Additionally, I possess a Standard Teaching Certification (Preschool through Grade 3) and certifications as both a Basic and Advanced Civil Mediator, demonstrating my commitment to fostering positive learning environments and resolving conflicts effectively.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as an instructional leader and educator, guiding students and mentoring teachers in diverse educational settings. My teaching experience spans from classroom instruction to professional development facilitation, addressing the needs of learners from early childhood to adults. I have developed and implemented daily lesson plans tailored to individual student needs, emphasizing areas such as literacy, math, and social-emotional development. My work as an ESL instructor further highlights my ability to support multilingual learners in developing language proficiency and confidence.

My approach to tutoring is centered on creating engaging, supportive, and personalized learning experiences. I excel at identifying students’ unique strengths and challenges and tailoring strategies to help them succeed. Whether working one-on-one or in small groups, I employ data-driven methods to track progress and adapt instruction, ensuring that each student achieves their academic goals. My experience as a mandated reporter and mediation specialist also reflects my dedication to maintaining safe and inclusive environments where students feel valued and supported." less...
