I am a passionate educator and experienced tutor with a strong background in teaching and mentoring students from Pre-K through 8th grade. My work includes private online tutoring, overseeing educational programs, and developing engaging, standards-based curriculum. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and am committed to helping students build confidence, master core skills, and reach their academic goals.

My tutoring style:

My tutoring approach is personalized to fit each student’s unique learning style and needs. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every session and am genuinely passionate about the subjects I teach. With a patient and flexible mindset, I adjust the pace to ensure students feel confident and supported, whether that means breaking down concepts step by step or pushing them to reach new heights. I reinforce learning through consistent review and targeted practice, helping students truly understand the material and succeed with confidence.

Success story:

During the pandemic, I began working with a student who was struggling with the demands of remote learning, facing challenges with focus, motivation, and academic performance. Through consistent support, structured daily sessions, and a balance of fun and focused learning, we made meaningful progress. By establishing a routine of one hour of tutoring each day and incorporating educational games to capture attention before transitioning into reading, the student not only adapted to distance learning but began to thrive. I am proud to share that the student now consistently earns "A" grades, and we continue to work together today. Watching their confidence grow has been incredibly fulfilling.

Another experience that stands out is with a younger Learner student who initially wanted nothing to do with our sessions. He would find every excuse to leave early or avoid participating. With patience, creativity, and a focus on making learning enjoyable, I gradually earned his trust. I mixed academic goals with engaging activities that kept him interested. One day, he smiled and said, “I actually enjoy coming to class now. I look forward to our sessions.” That simple sentence brought me so much joy. For me, it is the greatest reward a teacher can receive to have helped a student feel excited to learn.

Hobbies and interests:

When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending quality time with my children, both indoors and outdoors. We love exploring nature, playing board games, and creating fun memories together. I also have a passion for home decor and organizing events, which gives me a chance to express my creative side. Traveling to new places and learning new things are interests I truly value, as they often inspire ideas that I can bring into my sessions to make learning more engaging and meaningful for my students.
