I connect current assignments with the foundations students need, adapting explanations and practice to each child’s learning needs.

English & language arts

I help students strengthen phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. We practice identifying main ideas, making inferences, and using evidence from a text.

Writing support includes grammar, sentence structure, paragraph organization, essay writing, and purposeful revision.

Experience with a personal approach

Building strong foundations
for academic success.

As a high school assistant principal and credentialed educator, I understand the academic expectations students encounter as they move through school. I help younger students build the foundations they will need and support middle school and ninth-grade students as their coursework becomes more demanding.

My approach is personal and collaborative. I take time to understand each student’s strengths, areas of difficulty, and goals so that our sessions address the skills that matter most.
