My mission is to work with students and families to equip students with the tools needed to build their confidence in Math, and ultimately instill confidence to overcome other obstacles in their lives. This mission will be accomplished by identifying the individual needs of students and curating an individualized plan to reach their goals. What I truly love about one on one tutoring is seeing students recognize their capabilities and potential after consistently putting in the work.

Ashley
MS Relay Graduate School of Education • BA SUNY College at Oneonta
8+ Years Tutoring

I am passionate about teaching early readers and writers because I truly believe these skills are the foundation of a successful academic career and life. I tutor reading and writing for grades K-2, and can support your child in learning how to decode more fluently, build deep comprehension of a text, and also be able to articulate strategies they use and apply them to a variety of texts. I received a B.A. in childhood education from SUNY Oneonta (Oneonta, NY) and an M.A in early childhood education from Relay Graduate School of Education (New York, NY). I have spent the last 4.5 years as a teacher and instructional leader at a charter school in Brooklyn, NY. I taught kindergarten and supported novice teachers in achieving professional development goals using a yearlong professional development trajectory that included both classroom management and instructional skills. My favorite subject to teach is early reading because there is nothing that makes my heart happier than seeing a child learn how to read for the first time! I believe all children will rise to the bar we set for them, which is why my teaching style is warm/strict. I bring the joy because learning is fun, but I also set the bar high and reinforce the habit of showing grit. Outside of academia, my hobbies include traveling the world, exercising, spending time on the beach, and making delicious and healthy meals!

I am NYS certified Mathematics Teacher (Grades 7-12) currently teaching in Harlem, NY. As someone who loved the sciences I want to encourage students to enjoy the struggle that comes with advanced mathematics and to recognize the importance of math proficiency among other subjects. I believe the key to motivating students to push themselves with certain topics is relatability; how can I take what I learned and apply it to something that I want to accomplish?
