As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's degree in Human Development from Washington College, I am certified to teach K-6 in the state of Maryland. I have over five years of experience working with young learners, from Pre-K to 5th grade, and I thrive on igniting their enthusiasm for reading and learning across subjects like math, science, and social studies. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, fostering a supportive and engaging environment that encourages participation and caters to diverse learning styles. I employ hands-on lessons and interactive activities, ensuring that every child feels valued and motivated to achieve their academic goals. Witnessing a child's joy as they read independently is one of my greatest rewards, and I am dedicated to making learning a fun and meaningful experience for all my students.
