As a passionate educator with over 15 years of experience, I specialize in English and Social Studies, guiding students from middle school through high school. My academic background includes an advanced certification in Educational Leadership from Harvard University and a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Washington, equipping me with the skills to create engaging and effective learning experiences. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where students can take ownership of their learning through interactive methods, such as gamified lessons and quick assessments to tailor instruction. My commitment to student success drives me to identify individual needs and challenge students to exceed their potential. In my free time, I enjoy reading extensively, which enriches my teaching and keeps me connected to the content I love.
