I enjoy helping students improve their fluency and confidence through structured conversation practice, focusing on everyday topics and real-life situations. I adapt each lesson to the student’s interests to keep it engaging and practical.

I have extensive experience teaching beginners, using clear explanations, visuals, and step-by-step guidance to build a solid foundation in vocabulary, pronunciation, and basic grammar.

I have two years of experience teaching English to children ages 6–12, using games, stories, and interactive activities that make learning fun and accessible for young ESL learners and those with learning differences.

With over six years of experience tutoring students afterschool, I am confident in my ability to adjust lessons in the moment to support students with homework completion, offering direct instruction if needed and guidance to build towards independence.

I hold an undergraduate degree in English Teaching, where I studied literature and writing extensively. I enjoy helping students analyze texts, build critical thinking skills, and improve their writing through structured guidance and feedback.

I earned a master’s degree in Special Education for students with moderate learning disabilities and worked for five years at a high school for students with ADHD and other executive functioning challenges. I use strategies like movement breaks, structured routines, and scaffolded tasks to support focus and independence. Visual aids, timers, and goal-setting tools also help students stay engaged and build self-regulation skills.

With a master’s degree in Special Education and years of experience teaching reading remediation, I’ve supported many students with dyslexia using structured literacy methods. I focus on phonemic awareness, explicit instruction in decoding and spelling, and multisensory strategies to build fluency and confidence. I also adapt materials to reduce visual clutter and support comprehension.
