I am a graduate of Faculty of Pharmacy. I received my Bachelor of Pharmaceutical sciences. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, tutoring students for more than 13 years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science, Math and Arabic. I have reached both elementary and older students. In my experience helping struggling students for tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements). I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.

I am dedicated to helping students progress towards their goals and learn with nobility, self discipline, endurance and with respect. Rice University, Texas A&M University, my alma maters, as well as Pat Neff Elementary, my beloved ESL campus and I believe in the importance of core values to guide learners to success. Never stop learning because life never stops teaching.
I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, and across a wide-range of grade-levels, I am most proud of and most passionate about my work in literacy. Creating a joyful community of reading and writing - whether for an entire school, or for a small group - has provided me with my greatest sense of accomplishment (and my fondest memories!) Literacy is the KEY to unlocking future success in all subjects, and in all endeavors, and I've long been proud of the growth my students have consistently demonstrated over the years. Just this past year, the small-group pod I was leading showed TWO years of growth in reading levels - thriving, in fact, while far too many others in their in-person cohort fell behind. I look forward to helping to continue this same kind of across-the-board success for your families' scholars, as well! Can't wait!
I am a former middle-school English teacher (and former high-school French teacher). I am certified to teach English (grades 6-12), History/Government/Social Studies (grades 6-12), Psychology (grades 6-12), Health (grades PreK-12), General Music (grades PreK-12), and French (grades PreK-12). I have also taught AP French and college-level French.
I'm a certified K-4 educator with five years of classroom experience in Philadelphia public and charter schools, and I hold a LETRS certification in structured literacy. I currently teach kindergarten and coach literacy tutors across multiple schools, so I know both what good instruction looks like and how to explain it clearly to someone who's still learning. I specialize in early literacy and foundational skills, but I'm equally comfortable supporting elementary students across subjects. My approach is warm and high-expectation: I build genuine relationships with kids while holding them to real standards. I've worked with students across a wide range of needs, including emergent readers and multilingual learners. I tutor privately and love the one-on-one format. It's where I get to be most responsive to what a specific kid actually needs.
I'm a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis. I received my Bachelor of Arts in French, and minored in Film & Media Studies and Psychology. Since graduation, I have been working in Television while remaining passionate about French and helping others achieve their language learning goals. I'm a proponent of education in languages and cultures beyond one's own, as I find learning to understand and communicate with one another to be an particularly valuable and global skill. As I tutor in French Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Grammar, I strive to impart this acknowledgement and appreciation to my students.
I'm always trying to encourage more people to play with this free and easy-to-use resource for biomolecular art/education. I would love to show you how to use it in your studies (or just for fun)!
I am a graduate of Boston College where I studied Education and Psychology. I received my Master's in Education at the University of Notre Dame. Since graduation, I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades in both general education and special education settings. I am trained in elementary (K-4) math concepts and reading/phonics instruction (for example the Fundations program). I am passionate about education and love working with students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, singing, playing guitar, and being outside.
I am in school at Grand Canyon University and am working on obtaining a degree in Elementary Education. I currently work full-time as a literacy interventionist in a local elementary school. I'm very good at staying organized and enjoy most school subjects.
All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.
I am currently in the process of receiving my degree and certification from North Carolina State University. I have taken a large portion of my classes through the Distance Education program so I am well-versed in virtual learning.
I am a ballet dancer with Ballet 5:8 in the Chicago suburbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kindergarten students typically face challenges with phonemic awareness (hearing and manipulating individual sounds in words), letter recognition and formation, number sense and counting fluency, and fine motor skills needed for writing. Many children also struggle with social-emotional regulation—managing frustration during learning tasks, following multi-step directions, and transitioning between activities. Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps by breaking skills into manageable steps and providing immediate feedback, which is especially important since Kindergarten lays the foundation for all future literacy and math learning.
Expert Kindergarten tutors understand child development milestones, phonics instruction methods, and how young learners acquire foundational skills through play and hands-on activities. They should be skilled at differentiating instruction for different readiness levels—some Kindergarteners arrive knowing letter names while others are still developing pre-literacy skills. Great Kindergarten tutors are also patient, adaptable, and know how to maintain engagement through short, varied activities since young children have limited sustained attention spans. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have experience supporting early literacy and numeracy development in young learners.
Phonemic awareness and phonics are critical Kindergarten skills that many children need extra support to master. A tutor can use systematic, structured approaches like explicit phoneme instruction, blending practice, and decodable text reading—all delivered at a pace that matches your child's learning speed. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify whether a child struggles with hearing sounds, connecting sounds to letters, or blending sounds into words, then target that specific gap. This targeted support helps prevent reading difficulties from compounding in later grades.
Kindergarten math focuses on number sense (understanding "how many"), counting fluency (accurate counting to 20+), one-to-one correspondence (touching each object once while counting), and early addition/subtraction concepts through concrete manipulatives. Students also learn to recognize numbers, compare quantities (more/less/equal), and understand basic shapes. Many children struggle with subitizing (instantly recognizing a small quantity without counting) or confusing counting with true number understanding. A tutor can use hands-on activities, visual models, and repeated practice to build confidence and automaticity with these foundational concepts.
Fine motor skills—the ability to control small hand and finger movements—are essential for Kindergarten success because they directly impact a child's ability to write letters, use scissors, and manipulate learning materials. Many Kindergarteners need support developing the hand strength and coordination required for pencil control and letter formation. A tutor can incorporate fine motor activities like playdough, threading beads, and pre-writing exercises into lessons, making skill-building feel playful while preparing children for writing demands. Strong fine motor skills also boost confidence and reduce frustration during academic tasks.
Children enter Kindergarten with vastly different skill levels—some have attended preschool with strong pre-literacy exposure while others have limited early learning experiences. Personalized tutoring quickly assesses where your child stands and targets the specific foundational skills they need, whether that's letter recognition, phonemic awareness, number sense, or social skills. Regular 1-on-1 sessions allow tutors to move at your child's pace without the pressure of keeping up with a classroom, reducing anxiety and building momentum. Early intervention with a tutor during Kindergarten prevents skill gaps from widening in later grades.
Progress in Kindergarten is visible through concrete milestones: recognizing more letters and their sounds, counting accurately to higher numbers, forming letters more legibly, blending sounds into simple words, and showing greater confidence during learning tasks. You'll notice your child attempting to read simple decodable books, writing recognizable letters independently, and expressing less frustration when facing challenges. A tutor tracks progress through informal assessments like letter naming fluency, phoneme identification accuracy, and number sense activities, sharing regular updates so you can see exactly where your child is improving. These early wins build momentum and set a positive foundation for first grade.
