Personal information
Bio
Hello! My name is Cali, and I’m an experienced educator with a passion for helping students excel. I hold a BA in Economics from UCLA and a Master’s degree in Childhood Education from Adelphi University. With hands-on experience teaching kindergarten through 5th grade, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to support students in their academic journeys.
As a former reading specialist and classroom teacher in both Queens and Long Island, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse learners, helping them build strong foundations in reading, writing, and math. My approach is warm, engaging, and tailored to each student's unique needs, ensuring that they not only improve academically but also develop a love for learning.
Currently, I’m a Customer Success Manager at a tech company in NYC, but my passion for education drives me to continue teaching. I’m excited to offer personalized, one-on-one tutoring sessions to help your child achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
