As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education from Pennsylvania State University, I have over 2 years of experience in both classroom teaching and tutoring, specializing in phonics. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment, where students feel confident to explore and ask questions. I find immense joy in witnessing the moment a student conquers a challenging concept, which fuels my dedication to their success. Currently, I am actively teaching, allowing me to stay updated on the latest educational practices. In my free time, I enjoy reading and discovering new educational resources, which continually enrich my teaching approach and enhance my students' learning experiences.
