Bio

I believe students learn best when they can connect new concepts to their own lives and experiences. I strive to get to know each student personally so I can tailor lessons to their needs, and I provide meaningful feedback that encourages persistence and confidence in their learning journey. My goal as a tutor is to help students fill gaps in their understanding, strengthen their skills, and build confidence in their abilities. Like a coach, I aim to guide, motivate, and equip students with strategies that promote both academic growth and lifelong learning. I believe students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and valued. I build positive relationships by getting to know each student’s strengths and using those to make meaningful connections to the subject, helping them feel confident and capable as they learn.
