"I am a certified educator with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education from the University of North Florida. My academic background focused on early childhood development, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to effectively teach foundational concepts in reading, math, and social-emotional learning. I hold a Pennsylvania teaching certification and have taught in both classroom and one-on-one settings, working with students from preschool through middle school.

My teaching journey began in 2007 as a VPK teacher, where I created a safe and nurturing environment for young learners while tailoring lessons to meet their unique needs. I further honed my skills as a teacher at Twin Lakes Academy Elementary, where I taught English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, and Science to diverse groups of students. My approach emphasizes building a strong foundation in core subjects by integrating real-world applications and creating an engaging, supportive classroom environment. Additionally, I have extensive tutoring experience, having worked with individual families to address specific academic challenges. For instance, I designed an intervention plan to help a student improve their reading skills, leading to a remarkable 47% growth in the CORE High-Frequency Word Survey after just six sessions.

With over a decade of combined teaching and tutoring experience, I have developed a teaching style that is patient, approachable, and adaptable to each student’s learning preferences. My ability to connect with learners of varying ages and abilities ensures that I can effectively meet their academic needs and foster their confidence in learning. Whether in a classroom or through personalized one-on-one sessions, my goal is to empower students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed." less...
