As a dedicated educator with a Master's degree in Politics & Education from Columbia University, I am passionate about fostering a love for reading and writing in my students. With over two years of tutoring experience and several years of classroom teaching, I specialize in middle school reading comprehension and English Language Arts. My approach is student-centered; I tailor my lesson plans to meet the unique needs of each learner, utilizing engaging strategies like show, don't tell to enhance their writing skills. I thrive on helping students transform their perceptions of English, turning challenges into successes. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy writing and have published works in creative nonfiction, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching writing. I look forward to empowering students to excel academically and discover their potential.
