Shikara

Certified Tutor

Every child can succeed when learning feels clear, encouraging, and tailored to their needs. With over 18 years of experience teaching elementary students and as my school's 202526 Teacher of the Year. I know how to help children build confidence and make real progress.

I currently teach 3rd grade and tutor students in both reading and math. Reading has always been a passion of mine, and I love helping students become fluent, thoughtful readers. I also enjoy teaching math because once the foundation is solid, everything starts to "click," and their confidence soars.

My tutoring style is structured yet supportive. I use an "I do, we do, you do" model that helps students grow from guided practice to independent mastery. Whether your child needs extra support or enrichment, I'll meet them where they are and help them move forward with confidence.

I earned my BBA from the University of Toledo, but education is where I found my purpose. Watching a student light up with understanding is the best reward.
