I am a certified teacher of both math and Chinese. I have taught everything from elementary to high school math, and from beginning to AP Mandarin Chinese. I have been teaching in public schools for more than ten years, so I know what students struggle with and where some of their biggest academic hurdles can be found. I am here to help! I like to break down knowledge and information into easy steps, in order to make it easier for students to solve their problems. By working together on everything from fundamentals to test preparation, you will soon know what to learn and memorize in order to feel prepared, regardless of subject!

With over a decade of experience as a student and a personal understanding of learning challenges, I'm passionate about helping students succeed on their own terms. As someone with ADHD, I understand firsthand how to navigate the complexities of focus and time management, and I incorporate strategies that work for neurodivergent learners. This experience allows me to connect with students who face similar challenges, providing them with practical tools and encouragement to excel. I earned my Juris Doctor and LL.M in Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law from the University of Miami School of Law, and my Bachelor's degree in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I specialize in English, History, and Law, and I particularly enjoy helping students sharpen their writing and critical thinking skills.
I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

Frequently Asked Questions
In a classroom setting with an average student-teacher ratio of 16.6:1, teachers must pace lessons for the middle of the class, which means some students move too quickly while others fall behind. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction lets tutors focus entirely on your student's specific needs—whether that's strengthening foundational reading skills, developing stronger essay writing, or tackling complex literary analysis.
Tutors can adjust teaching methods based on your student's learning style, spend extra time on challenging concepts, and provide immediate, targeted feedback. This individualized approach often leads to faster improvement in both comprehension and writing skills.
Many students struggle with reading comprehension—understanding not just what a text says, but analyzing deeper themes and making connections. Writing is another major challenge, from organizing ideas coherently to developing strong thesis statements and supporting arguments with evidence from texts.
Grammar and mechanics often trip up students too, particularly with complex sentence structures and proper punctuation. Additionally, students sometimes struggle with time management when handling multiple reading assignments, essays, and projects simultaneously. A tutor can address each of these areas with targeted strategies tailored to your student's specific struggles.
Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who understand Florida's standards and expectations for each grade level, from foundational literacy skills in elementary grades to literary analysis and persuasive writing in middle and high school. Tutors are familiar with what students need to master for grade-level success and can target instruction accordingly.
Whether your student is preparing for state assessments, working on specific assignments, or building long-term ELA skills, tutors customize their approach to support your student's current curriculum and academic goals.
Strong reading comprehension requires more than just decoding words—it involves understanding main ideas, recognizing supporting details, inferring meaning, and analyzing an author's purpose and perspective. Tutors use targeted strategies like close reading techniques, annotation methods, and guided questioning to help students develop these critical thinking skills.
With personalized instruction, tutors can work with texts at your student's appropriate level, model how to break down complex passages, and provide practice with feedback until these skills become automatic. This builds both confidence and measurable improvement in standardized reading assessments.
Writing improvement happens through guided practice and targeted feedback. Tutors help students at every stage of the writing process—from brainstorming and organizing ideas, to drafting, revising, and editing. They teach how to construct strong thesis statements, support claims with textual evidence, and develop ideas with clarity and sophistication.
Rather than just marking errors, tutors explain the 'why' behind writing conventions and help students internalize these skills. Whether your student is writing essays, narratives, persuasive pieces, or literary analysis, personalized instruction accelerates growth and builds writing confidence.
Yes. Tutors can target preparation for Florida's state assessments by building foundational reading and writing skills, teaching test-taking strategies, and providing practice with similar question formats and passages. For high school students, this includes preparation for the EOC (End of Course) exams.
Beyond test-specific strategies, strong 1-on-1 instruction develops the underlying comprehension and writing abilities that drive strong performance on any assessment. Tutors can identify where your student needs the most support and focus efforts there.
