Bio
I am an experienced math and science teacher with over 11 years of teaching experience in grades 4, 5, 7, and 8. I love helping students build confidence by breaking down difficult concepts into simple, understandable steps. My goal is to make learning engaging, encouraging, and enjoyable for every student. I believe all students learn differently and at their own pace, so I work hard to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing academically. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, kayaking, and relaxing at the beach. I also love animals, especially birds.
Teacher Specialization
I have a diverse range of tutoring and teaching experiences, including one year of tutoring English to Chinese-speaking children through VIPKid, ongoing English tutoring with a Ukrainian student via ENGin, and providing additional support to students in after-school extended day programs. I've also taken on coaching roles for various enrichment activities in after-school clubs, such as Rocketry, Garden Club, VEX IQ Robotics Club, and Science Olympiad, fostering a holistic approach to education.
