I provide personalized math tutoring for students in grades 1 through 8, helping build strong foundational skills and confidence in math. Whether your child is just starting to explore numbers or preparing for more advanced concepts, I tailor each session to meet their unique learning style and academic goals.

I specialize in algebra and excel at breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps. From solving equations to mastering word problems, I make algebra accessible and even enjoyable for students who may find it challenging.

In addition to algebra, I support students in a wide range of topics including:

Basic arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)

Fractions, decimals, and percentages

Word problems and critical thinking

Pre-algebra concepts

Homework help and test prep

My goal is not only to help students improve their grades but also to develop a genuine understanding and appreciation for math. With a patient, encouraging approach, I work to boost each student’s confidence and independence in solving math problems.

Multisensory techniques (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)

Structured literacy approaches

Encouragement and tools to build self-advocacy and persistence

Each session is designed around your child’s unique needs, helping them not only become stronger readers but also more motivated and self-assured learners.

English Tutoring (Grades 1–10)

I offer comprehensive English tutoring for students in grades 1 through 10, focusing on reading, writing, grammar, and critical thinking. With a Bachelor’s degree in Middle Level Education - English from Slippery Rock University, I bring both academic expertise and a deep passion for the subject into every session.

English has always been my favorite subject, and I strive to make it just as exciting and meaningful for my students. I believe that when students connect what they’re learning to their own interests, hobbies, and real-world experiences, they become more engaged, motivated, and confident. That’s why I tailor each lesson to the individual—whether they love sports, video games, art, music, or storytelling.

Areas of focus include:

Reading comprehension and literary analysis

Essay writing and paragraph structure

Grammar, punctuation, and sentence fluency

Creative writing and expression

Vocabulary development

Study skills and test preparation (including standardized tests and writing prompts)

I use a variety of tools and strategies, including multimedia resources, discussion-based learning, and interactive activities to help students truly enjoy English—not just do well in it. Whether your child needs help catching up, staying on track, or wants to take their skills to the next level, I’m here to guide them every step of the way.

My goal is to nurture confident, thoughtful readers and writers who can express themselves clearly and think critically about the world around them.

Science Tutoring (Grades 1–7)

I provide engaging and supportive science tutoring for students in grades 1 through 7, helping them explore the world around them with curiosity and confidence. My strength lies in making science both understandable and fun by connecting lessons to real-life examples and hands-on learning experiences.

My strongest areas are world science and biology, where I help students grasp key concepts like ecosystems, the human body, animals, plants, weather, space, and Earth sciences. I guide students through scientific thinking, helping them ask questions, make observations, and understand how the natural world works.

Topics I cover include:

Life science (plants, animals, human body systems)

Earth and space science (weather, planets, landforms, natural resources)

Physical science basics (motion, energy, simple machines)

Scientific method and inquiry skills

Reading and interpreting science texts

Homework help and project support

While I am well-equipped to assist in most general science areas, I do not offer tutoring in chemistry. However, I am always happy to support students in understanding related topics at an age-appropriate level.

My goal is to inspire students to enjoy science—not just memorize facts, but truly understand how and why things happen. I create a learning environment that encourages curiosity, builds foundational knowledge, and supports every student’s unique way of learning.
