Hello students and families! As an educator, my ultimate goal is to provide students with the skills to sustain academic success and pursue their interests to the highest level possible. I believe in collaborative, inquiry-based instruction, and I prioritize understanding my students' individual goals. For five years I served as a literacy teacher and transformational reading coach for grades seven through twelve. While teaching, I earned my Masters of Science degree from Johns Hopkins School of Education in Secondary Educational Studies. As an instructional coach, I managed a team of teachers to develop their instructional delivery, classroom management, and curricular planning skills. I left classroom teaching to become the curriculum supervisor for an EdTech company, but have continued tutoring all along - specializing in teaching reading and writing, as well as the ISEE and the SAT. This background gives me the theoretical and practical knowledge to ensure my students receive a high-quality and engaging educational experience grounded in research-based practices. When not teaching, you may find me scouring the spice aisle in pursuit of a new recipe, reading a sci-fi novel in the park, or watching an old movie with captions to "practice my high school French" (really I just like the silly romance plots).
