As a passionate educator currently pursuing my Master's in Clinically Based Elementary Education from Oregon State University, I have over two years of experience tutoring students in elementary academics as well as middle and high school mathematics. My teaching approach centers on building strong connections with my students, understanding their unique interests, and tailoring lessons to engage them actively. For instance, I've incorporated sports-themed activities to make reading more enjoyable for students. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts. I find immense joy in helping students succeed academically and grow in confidence, and I look forward to fostering a love for learning in every child I work with.
