About Me

Education is more than my professionit's my mission. I'm passionate about helping students unlock their potential and rediscover confidence in their learning. From early readers to high school scholars, I believe every student has the capacity to excel when given individualized attention, clear study tools, and genuine encouragement. Over the past five years, I've taught and tutored students across public, charter, and private school settings as well as virtually. My experience spans ages 7 through 18 and includes English Language Arts, Writing, Reading Comprehension, History, and Elementary through Pre-Algebra Math. I also have extensive experience supporting students with diverse learning needs, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Down Syndrome. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies with a minor in Arab Studies from Davidson College, and I am formally trained in Study Technology through Applied Scholasticsan educational methodology focused on helping students master concepts, improve comprehension, and build independent study skills. My teaching philosophy centers on connection, clarity, and creativity. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, set measurable goals, and create a supportive environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and experience genuine progress. Whether helping a child gain confidence in reading or guiding a high schooler toward higher-level writing skills, I focus on real understandingnot rote memorization. Outside of teaching, I enjoy writing, exploring world cultures, creating educational content, and inspiring others to approach learning with curiosity and purpose. My goal in every session is to help students not only succeed academically but also develop lifelong confidence in their ability to learn, think, and create.
