About
My service stands out because I have 5 years of experience managing a classroom full of 2nd graders to progress academically and personally. I am confident that my background knowledge and experience in education will help us achieve your child's personal goals together.
I am confident I can help support a student of any age in:
-MATH (K-5)
-READING (K-8)
-WRITING (K-12)
-SPANISH (All levels)
I love getting to know each student's unique personality, strengths, and areas for growth. I really enjoy the relationship building that goes into teaching and the best part of teaching is when you get to see a student's eyes light up when they are finally understanding a challenging concept for the first time!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Usually as I begin working with a new student, I first do some get-to-know-you activities together so we break the ice and we can learn about each other's likes and dislikes and personalities so the student feels more comfortable. Then, we will review grade-level subject matter and go up or down on difficulty to figure out where they currently stand, using the Common Core State Standards as measure.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a 2nd grade teacher for 5 years - 3 years at Chicago Publics Schools and 2 years at The Columbus School, an International School in Medellín, Colombia.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes, I charge $35/hour for each session. This ensures that I am paid for my prep-time to create an individualized plan for each student as well, and I believe is a fair price given my 6 years of professional experience teaching.
