A passionate and dedicated educator with 10 years of teaching experience at the high school level. I specialize in Math, but also have extensive experience teaching English and Spanish. I have worked with both advanced students as well as those on IEP and 504 plans. I leverage strong communication skills, empathic thinking, and positive reinforcement to meet students where they are, and promote gradual progress toward achieving their academic goals.
