As an educator with a Doctorate in Professional Leadership, I bring over ten years of tutoring and classroom experience, primarily in middle school science and Spanish. My teaching philosophy centers on forming strong relationships with my students, understanding their unique motivations, and tailoring my approach to meet their individual needs. I have a deep commitment to helping students bridge vocabulary gaps while mastering complex scientific concepts. I strive to ignite curiosity and excitement about learning, believing that when students engage with the material, they can apply critical thinking skills across all areas of their lives. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the natural world, which enriches my teaching and connection with students.
