I am passionate about helping students achieve academic growth, learn to think critically, build confidence, and develop skills that extend beyond the classroom. I believe kids learn best in a supportive, appropriately challenging environment where learning is scaffolded to meet their individual needs and gradually builds independence. I have been teaching for over 14 years with a bachelor's in psychology, a master's in education, and another master's in curriculum and instruction.
