Experience
Although I began my international school teaching career in middle school, I found my home in the elementary classroom as well as a support teacher for ELLs (English Language Learners). My focus has now shifted to providing students with one-on-one or small group support in reading and writing remediation.

Philosophy of Education
In my work as a tutor, learners feel that they belong, that they are heard, and that they are valued for what they bring to the learning process. I prioritize building a strong, positive connection with each student from the very first interaction.
Each session is structured to provide both consistency and responsiveness to individual needs. Through structured literacy approaches, I guide students in developing both reading and writing skills, ensuring they build strong, transferable language foundations.
This individualized approach forms the foundation for growth. By combining structured instruction with responsive teaching, students develop the skills, confidence, and independence needed to achieve measurable progress in reading and writing.
