As a dedicated early childhood tutor with a passion for helping young learners from birth through 2nd grade build strong foundations in reading, writing, math, and science. I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a focus on early childhood education, and I specialize in creating engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences that support each child's unique learning journey.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the Montessori approach, which means I value hands-on, child-centered learning that encourages independence, curiosity, and self-confidence. I believe that every child learns at their own pace, and I strive to create a warm, nurturing environment where they feel empowered to explore, ask questions, and grow.

Whether I'm guiding a toddler through their first sounds, helping a kindergartner develop literacy skills, or introducing young learners to the wonders of numbers and nature, my goal is always the same: to spark a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
