I bring over 11 years of experience as a substitute teacher, working in a wide variety of classrooms, pre k to Fifth grade, and situations. Over the years, I became almost a full-time member of several school communities, gaining invaluable experience adapting to different learning styles, classroom environments, and the individual needs of students. During COVID, I created and ran my own learning pod, providing children with a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where they could continue learning during an especially challenging time. I also spent six years teaching preschool, where I developed a deep appreciation for the importance of building strong foundations for learning at an early age. Teaching has always been much more than a job for me. I have a genuine passion for learning and for helping children discover their strengths and confidence. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a child overcome a challenge, gain confidence, Read more and truly blossom. My passion for education eventually led me to start my own tutoring business, which has flourished through dedication, personalized instruction, and strong relationships with the families and students I serve. I take pride in meeting each child where they are, finding what works best for them, and helping them reach their full potential. With my extensive classroom experience, entrepreneurial background, and genuine love of teaching, I bring both practical knowledge and heartfelt commitment to every student I work with. I always go the extra mile for the students sake and parents too.
