As a dedicated fifth-grade teacher in Dallas, Texas, I hold a Master's degree in Early Childhood through Sixth Grade Education from Johns Hopkins University. With over 5 years of experience in tutoring and classroom instruction, my passion lies in fostering a supportive learning environment where every student feels valued. I specialize in elementary school English, math, reading, science, and writing. My teaching philosophy centers on building strong relationships with my students, as I believe that genuine connections enhance their learning experience. I utilize differentiated instruction to meet students at their individual levels, focusing on conceptual understanding and mastery of essential skills. Witnessing students' "aha" moments, especially in math and science, drives my enthusiasm for teaching. Outside the classroom, I enjoy engaging in hands-on science activities, which I incorporate into my lessons to spark curiosity and excitement in my students.
