About
I have 12 years of experience as a teacher and tutor. I believe in finding new and innovative methods of teaching to help students succeed. Each student is unique and what may work for one may not work for another, that is why I take my time to ensure I prepare lessons that are appropriate for each student individually that will help him/her develop the skills needed to improve in class. I have experience working with different age groups and with students with learning disabilities.
I have a passion for teaching. I believe every student has the ability to succeed. Sometimes we just need the extra help and someone to care and believe in us to show us the way. I want to continue to be that person for students, someone they can lean on, and help them in their journey to success.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Students are not created equal and so are teachers. I believe is very important to have a good relationship with your teacher and feel comfortable. Knowing that your teacher cares about you makes all the difference! You have the right to receive the best education possible, never settle for anything less!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Always think about what works for you. How do you think you learn best? Do you like visual aids? Do you like things in writing? Do you get nervous when a test is coming up, or an assignment is due? Do you have problems getting and staying organized? What type of additional supports do you need?
