As a passionate educator with a Master's in Teaching from Lewis and Clark College, I have over 5 years of experience helping students thrive in subjects such as US History, ESL/ELL, ELA, Algebra and Geometry. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment that fosters curiosity and engagement, allowing each student to discover their unique strengths. I believe that personalized instruction tailored to individual learning styles is key to academic success. I am dedicated to nurturing a love for learning in my students, and I find great joy in witnessing their progress. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading and exploring new cultures, which enriches my teaching and connects me to my students' diverse backgrounds.
