"I hold a degree in education and am a certified middle school science teacher with extensive experience working with diverse learners. My current role involves teaching neurodiverse students in a specialized school setting, where I adapt instructional methods to meet individual learning needs. This experience has strengthened my ability to differentiate instruction, implement multisensory teaching strategies, and create an inclusive learning environment that fosters both academic growth and confidence in my students.

Beyond the classroom, I have provided private 1-1 tutoring in math for students ranging from 2nd to 8th grade, tailoring lessons to fit their unique learning styles and academic goals. My approach emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and real-world applications to help students build a strong foundation in mathematics. Additionally, I have completed student teaching internships, where I developed and implemented lesson plans aligned with state standards while gaining hands-on experience in classroom management and student engagement. My background also includes publishing curriculum development modules, further demonstrating my ability to design effective instructional materials that support student learning.

In addition to my academic teaching experience, I am also a basketball coach, which has further developed my ability to teach, motivate, and mentor young athletes. Coaching requires strong communication skills, adaptability, and the ability to break down complex skills into manageable steps, many of the same qualities that make an effective educator. My coaching background allows me to connect with students in a unique way, reinforcing discipline, teamwork, and perseverance both on and off the court. Through these experiences, I have developed a deep commitment to fostering academic success, personal growth, and confidence in every student I work with." less...
