My passion for individual student achievement and unique skill set present the perfect match for one-on-one and small group dynamic learning sessions on the Braintrust Tutors platform. Patience and compassion are just two of my leading approaches when it comes to teaching influential young learners. I am a licensed educator & tutor with 12+ years of experience, primarily in the subject areas of Reading, English Language Arts, and Writing. I teach K-12 ELA and K-3 Math. I earned a BS degree in journalism and MA degree in human services counseling - serving as a case manager, counselor, and career advisor for high schoolers with special needs. My studies and professional experience in special education have produced significant results in attainment of individualized learning goals.
