Hello! I’m a passionate educator and Ivy League graduate, holding degrees from Harvard (undergraduate) and Columbia Law. With over a decade of experience as an award-winning instructor, I specialize in teaching critical reading, writing, and analytical thinking to curious young minds. I currently manage a prestigious K-12 gifted education program in English Language Arts, where I guide students in unlocking their full potential.
My multidisciplinary background in biology and law gives me a unique perspective on learning and teaching. Whether it’s grammar, literary analysis, creative storytelling, or crafting persuasive arguments, I tailor my approach to inspire curiosity and confidence in every student. I’ve worked in traditional classrooms, online settings, and one-on-one environments, empowering learners to master skills like publishing, legal writing, and creative expression.
My goal is to help students not only build strong communication and critical thinking skills but also develop self-confidence and a sense of ownership over their learning journey. Together, we’ll turn challenges into opportunities and spark a lifelong love for learning!Reseñas
