What I'm looking for

I seek a role teaching or tutoring middle/high school history or social studies where I can craft engaging lessons, support student growth, and use online tools to expand access.

I am an enthusiastic and dedicated educator with a B.A. in Sociology (Cum Laude) from CUNY Hunter College, focused on empowering middle and high school students in History and the social sciences.

I have tutored students grades 8–12 both online and in-person since 2019, creating personalized lesson plans, supporting exam preparation, and strengthening critical thinking and research skills.

As a peer mentor at CUNY Hunter College, I guided first-year students through academic expectations, facilitated social science discussions, and helped build study strategies and confidence in humanities subjects.

I hold a TESOL/TEFL certification and use online teaching tools (Zoom, Google Classroom, My eTalk) to foster engaging learning environments and support student success.
