About
I attended University of Houston's College of Education, where I obtained my B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies as well as my certification in Early Childhood to Middle School Instruction. After graduating in 2015, I attended my student teaching internship during which I wore several hats, from working with K-8 students in small intervention groups, to teaching K-5 students, to working with at-risk students as a teacher's aid.
I've been blessed to work as an Educational Therapist/Diagnostician through the NILD (National Institute of Learning Development), which has helped me serve students with ADHD, anxiety, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and autism.
I've been tutoring since I was 16 years old and have worked for prominent tutoring companies (Kumon Learning, C2 Education,, HeyTutor, GradePotential, FrogTutoring). My 15 years in both teaching and tutoring have provided me a wealth of experience which I bring to each and every student.
I am extremely passionate about helping my students overcome their academic challenges and discover for themselves how valuable and fun learning can be. Watching my students grow more confident and independent makes me incredibly proud, and it's the reason why I choose education as my field of work.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually have a 10 to 15-minute phone consultation to understand the student's needs and parents expectations. Then we schedule our in-person consult/diagnostic of skills etc--and move forward with a tutoring/educational plan.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been working in education for the last 15 years--I'm a certified EC-6 teacher in Texas--I have 10 years of 1:1 and small group tutoring experience. I've worked with every age group-- almost every core subject from K-12, and work with adult clientele.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing is discussed once a phone consult has been conducted.
