About Me

I'm a certified K-4 educator with five years of classroom experience in Philadelphia public and charter schools, and I hold a LETRS certification in structured literacy. I currently teach kindergarten and coach literacy tutors across multiple schools, so I know both what good instruction looks like and how to explain it clearly to someone who's still learning. I specialize in early literacy and foundational skills, but I'm equally comfortable supporting elementary students across subjects. My approach is warm and high-expectation: I build genuine relationships with kids while holding them to real standards. I've worked with students across a wide range of needs, including emergent readers and multilingual learners. I tutor privately and love the one-on-one format. It's where I get to be most responsive to what a specific kid actually needs.
