With a background in teaching and academic coaching, I have worked with learners of all ages, from elementary students to graduate-level scholars. I specialize in tutoring writing, English Language Arts, social sciences, to all ages, as well as elementary and middle school math. I also provide college admissions guidance, helping students navigate the application process with confidence.

My experience spans classroom teaching, mentoring first-generation college students, and instructing online courses. I believe that every student can succeed when given the right tools and encouragement. My tutoring approach is personalized and student-centered, fostering critical thinking and confidence. I enjoy making learning engaging by connecting concepts to real-world applications and adapting my methods to suit different learning styles.

My passion for education extends beyond the classroom, and I am committed to supporting students in achieving their academic and personal goals.
