Fun Facts
I love being outdoors doing pretty much anything: hiking, running, swimming, or just spending time with friends. A great novel and cup of coffee can keep me occupied for hours. Watercolor painting and baking are some of my favorite Sunday afternoon occupations!
About Me
I am a teacher with four years of experience teaching students of various ages and backgrounds both in large groups and in private tutoring. I love helping students grow in confidence and have those aha! moments.
Experience
I earned a bachelors degree in Politics with a minor in Spanish and for the past four years I have been teaching full time. First, I served as the English as a Second Language Program Coordinator in a first year classical charter school. I worked with students with little to no English schools, as well as students who needed to learn advanced grammar. I then taught third grade for two years. Most recently, I taught seventh grade history.
Approach
I love learning and my goal is to help my students learn to love the learning process. This can be a challenge for students who are struggling. Through encouragement and targeted lessons, I help my students gain the confidence and knowledge to succeed and have fun in the process. I know how to challenge students to reach their full potential while also being patient and celebrating growth along the way.
