For the past decade, I've worked in classrooms across DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania as a teacher, team lead, and district curriculum developer. Today I teach 5th grade Math in a DC public school. Before that, I taught middle school science, led a 7th grade team at a DC middle school, developed curriculum at the district level, and ran the student curriculum and summer camp for the Andrew L. Hicks Jr. Foundation. What ties it all together is range. I've taught the same concepts dozens of ways to dozens of students, so I know exactly where kids tend to stall out on fractions, ratios, or equations, and I almost always have another way in. I plan around real data, differentiate for every kind of learner including students with IEP, 504, and ML plans, and I'm relentless about making rigorous content feel within reach. I hold an M.S.Ed. in Educational Leadership from Old Dominion (2018), a DC Pre-K–12 administrator license (2025), and teaching licenses in DC, (previously Virginia, and Pennsylvania, too). I'm currently on sabbatical from my doctorate in Education Policy at Drexel. Tutoring is where it all comes together in its most personal form: one student, one goal, real progress.
