"To begin, I am an elementary and special education educator. Previously, I attended Montclair State University for both my bachelor's and master's degrees. With the support of my family, friends, and the Almighty God, I was able to graduate summa cud laude both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

As an educator, I strive to make learning a positive and engaging experience. I enjoy getting to know my students, seeing what their passions are and what they get excited about. This gives me tools to use when planning instruction. Overall, my approach to learning is hands-on with having students understand the "why" instead of rote memorization. When I have a struggling student, it is my job to find where the issue lies through observation, questioning, and working with the student one-on-one.

Once I have the information I need, I decide on the best way to instruct the student with a hands-on approach. I then give students time to practice on their own, giving feedback or assistance when needed. Finally, I like to give an informal and brief assessment about what the student learned, what they thought was interesting, and a question they have moving forward.

I look forward to meeting you and working with your children. Bringing out the potential and passion for learning is a daily job of mine that I do not take lightly. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
