Certified Tutor

I am a dedicated and compassionate educator with a deep passion for helping students succeed. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Arizona State University and am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Literacy at Grand Canyon University. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have always believed that every student has the potential to succeed, and my goal is to help them unlock their full capabilities.

In my years of teaching, I have worked with students across various grade levels, providing support in a wide range of subjects. While I have a particular passion for science and social studies, I truly enjoy teaching all subjects and helping students find excitement in learning. My teaching philosophy centers around creating an inclusive, supportive, and engaging classroom where students feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow. I believe that building strong relationships with my students is essential for fostering a love of learning and self-confidence.

I strive to make lessons meaningful and relatable by connecting them to real-world examples and the interests of my students. My approach is patient and adaptable, ensuring that each student's individual learning needs are met. My ultimate goal is not just to help students improve academically but also to cultivate a lifelong love of learning that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

Outside of academia, I enjoy spending time exploring the outdoors, reading, and finding creative ways to engage my students in learning. I look forward to the opportunity to help students build their skills and confidence, and to share in their academic successes along the way.

Hobbies

I enjoy a variety of hobbies that keep me inspired and energized. I love spending time with my family and friends, whether it's cooking and baking together or just enjoying each other's company. I love all 6 of my dogs and enjoy taking them on walks and spending quality time with them. I’m a big fan of movies, especially ones that inspire creativity and offer new perspectives. Shopping is another activity I enjoy, as it allows me to unwind and find fun new things. All of these activities help me maintain a well-rounded lifestyle and give me the energy and creativity I bring to my tutoring sessions.
