As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Teaching and Learning from Nova Southeastern University, I have over 20 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom instruction. My specialties include Elementary School English, Math, Reading, and Writing, with a particular passion for teaching math, where I am recognized for achieving the highest scores in my grade level. My teaching philosophy centers around meeting students where they are and using hands-on, student-centered approaches to build confidence and understanding. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable to express their needs and take risks in their learning. I am motivated by the joy of seeing my students succeed, and I enjoy incorporating various resources and strategies tailored to their individual learning styles. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new educational techniques to enhance my teaching practice.
