Certified Tutor

. My passion for education, particularly in supporting students with diverse learning needs, is at the heart of my career. As a seasoned special education teacher, I have dedicated myself to fostering an inclusive learning environment that accommodates the vivid tapestry of learning styles and abilities that students bring to the classroom.

For over five years, I have been deeply immersed in the field of special education, empowering students with learning disabilities and those navigating the complexities of language acquisition. My tenure in a self-contained classroom environment, as well as my years as a substitute teacher, has honed my capacity to meet the unique needs of each student. My current role as a resource room teacher collaborating on math instruction has further solidified my resolve to specialize in this area and solidified my expertise.

My educational journey began at the University of Louisville, leading to Indiana University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology and a Master of Library Science. These academic endeavors have been the backbone of my interdisciplinary approach to education an approach that celebrates diversity and champions adaptive learning strategies.

My passion for knowledge extends beyond my professional obligations. I find profound satisfaction in tutoring students in history and math, but algebra holds a special place in my heart. The intricate dance of numbers and variables in algebra captivates me, as it mirrors the complex nature of human learning each student navigates their path to understanding, and my role is to guide them through this maze to their own eureka moments.

My teaching philosophy is encapsulated in the belief that education thrives in a community where each member actively participates to nurture a positive environment. This belief is complemented by my 'I do, We do, You do' tutoring philosophy, a scaffolded approach that exemplifies my commitment to collaborative and independent student success.

Outside the classroom, you will find me deeply engaged in a variety of pursuits, from the competitive spirit of sports to the interactive worlds of gaming and the captivating narratives of movies. These interests not only provide a balance to my academic life but also enrich my teaching by allowing me to connect with students on a multitude of levels.
