West Seattle Tutors

I am a Seattle Public Schools (SPS) teacher who currently teaches AP U.S. Government and Politics and has taught for 5 years in SPS middle and high school history classrooms.

 

Originally from the East Coast, I graduated summa cum laude from Syracuse University with a B.A. in Social Studies Education, History, and Spanish. I can support students in bilingual literacy and have worked at Spanish speaking schools and summer programs. I hold a M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from City University, where I graduated summa cum laude. I am also a National Boards Certified teacher.

​

I believe that all people are innately curious and capable. My teaching philosophies center around project based learning, growth mindset, and universal design for learning. I have over five years of experience with differentiating instruction for students with IEPs to meet them where they are at in the learning process. My specialties include designing relevant projects that center students and help them develop the necessary skills to meet grade level standards. I enjoy working with any age of learner on goal setting and growth in literacy and writing skills.
