What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive environment that values creativity and professional growth.

I am a passionate high school English teacher dedicated to encouraging creativity and higher-order thinking in my students. With experience in both tutoring and classroom teaching, I strive to create engaging lessons that address the academic and social-emotional needs of my students. My commitment to education is reflected in my ongoing professional development and active participation in extracurricular events.

Currently, I am working as a middle and high school tutor at Stride Tutoring, where I help students across the country achieve their academic goals in English Language Arts and literature. My previous roles include teaching at Pelion High School, where I developed lesson plans and collected student data to enhance learning outcomes. I also have experience as a substitute teacher and a student teacher, which has further honed my skills in classroom management and lesson facilitation.
