What I'm looking for

I am looking for a tutoring role that allows me to leverage my teaching experience and interpersonal skills to foster student success in a supportive environment.

I am a motivated and results-driven professional with over five years of experience in education, specializing in tutoring and student engagement. My journey has equipped me with the ability to simplify complex concepts and adapt my teaching methods to meet diverse learning styles. I have a proven track record of building trust-based relationships with students and families, ensuring that each learner feels empowered and confident in their academic journey.

During my time with the Los Angeles Unified School District, I delivered engaging tutoring sessions tailored to individual learning needs, successfully navigating various teaching environments, including remote and hybrid settings. My experience as a substitute teacher further honed my ability to quickly adapt to new classroom dynamics while maintaining effective communication with students and staff. I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students can thrive and achieve their academic goals.
