"I am currently a middle school math teacher with Fairfax County Public Schools, after several years of teaching third grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade. Additionally, I am a doctoral candidate at George Mason University. I have previous experience as a special education teacher, also. During my time with FCPS, I have consistently ranked highly within the district in terms of both SOL test results and district measures. I have helped develop curriculum for the county, served as team leader, and am the social studies curriculum lead teacher at my school. Additionally, I have previously served as the math lead teacher for my building. Prior to teaching with FCPS, I worked with Charles County Public Schools, and tutored for two agencies in Rochester, New York.

As a teacher, my goal is to tailor instruction to best fit the needs of my students. I am a believer in the idea of multiple intelligences and learning styles, and ensure that I meet student learning styles. As a tutor, I will do everything possible to ensure that students receive the specific, targeted assistance that they need to succeed and thrive in the school environment." less...
