Bio

Hi! I am so excited for the opportunity to help you grow in the areas of reading and writing; the joy it brings me knowing that I made an impact is the reason why I thoroughly love to teach. I am a listen first and act second type of educator, meaning I want my students to be the one who advocates for themselves and their areas of need and growth. I respect that my students have voices that deserve to be heard and I aim to always hear what you have to say; it is your educational journey. As a tutor, my main goal is to make my students more confident learners. The more you believe you can achieve your goal, the more likely you will achieve that goal. That is my firm belief as an educator. I cannot wait to get started! I look forward to working with you and making our time together about YOU!

I have been a middle school English teacher for two years and a high school English teacher (9/10) for 11 years ( 2009-2021). I have experience teaching all types of learners- ELL, SWD, gifted, mainstream, and virtual learners. I am a former high school teacher of the year, a former teacher of the month, and a former English department chair. I earned my bachelor's in English (2008) and my master's in English Education (2009) from Virginia Tech.
