Certified Tutor

As an educator, my passion for helping students navigate their academic journeys is the driving force behind my commitment to tutoring. Having worked with diverse learners, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact that personalized guidance can have on a student's confidence and success.

My educational background includes rigorous training at Houghton University, where I pursued my Bachelor's in Inclusive Childhood Education, and at the University of Cincinnati, where I received my Master's in Education. This academic foundation equips me with the knowledge and expertise necessary to effectively support students across various subjects.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have had the opportunity to engage with students from diverse backgrounds and skill levels. While my tutoring repertoire spans a wide array of subjects, I find particular fulfillment in teaching phonics, fluency, reading comprehension, and mathematics. I have experience in teaching mainly kindergarten through 4th grade with a focus on special education.

Beyond academia, my interests extend to football, cooking, and reading a thrilling novel. Whether immersing myself in literature, exploring the great outdoors, or pursuing creative endeavors, these passions serve as a source of inspiration and balance in my life. By nurturing my own interests and well-being, I am better equipped to inspire and uplift those I have the privilege of teaching.
