With 5 years of hands-on experience as both an afterschool educator and tutor, I have developed a strong ability to connect with students personally and make learning meaningful. My work primarily with younger students has taught me how to tailor lessons to their interests, helping them stay engaged and motivated. I specialize in subjects like AP U.S. History, Algebra, Physics, Public Speaking, and Writing, using a student-centered approach that builds confidence and curiosity. Holding a Master's in Education Policy from American University, I combine my practical teaching experience with a deep understanding of education systems to create supportive environments where students can thrive. My passion is making complex topics accessible and enjoyable, helping students realize their potential and develop a lasting love of learning.
