About Me

Ask me about my course mastery and advanced placement strategies!!! *

At the moment, I am only available for online lessons.*

I first developed an interest in education through working with children between the ages of 6 months and 14 years at a nursery and after-school education institution based in Houston, Texas. I am proud to say that for the past 20 years I have had the privilege of working with families from diverse nationalities, including Chinese, British, American, Indian, Swiss, African, Spanish, Japanese, and Malaysian, just to name a few.

This experience has created in me a passion for education and my school experience has further confirmed teaching as a career choice. My Bachelor of Science degree coupled with a Master of Science degree in Toxicology prepared me for my teaching career as an adjunct professor and a high school science teacher.

Classroom teaching has provided me with a good understanding of curriculum development, classroom management, and skills necessary to provide a safe learning environment in which students can take intellectual risks. This experience launched me into the field of private homeschooling and awarded me with an opportunity to work as a managing director for an elite in-home tutoring company based in Houston, Texas.

My experience as a managing director for an in-home tutoring company developed my philosophy of valuing each child as an individual and as part of a community. My objective is to establish a friendly, encouraging, and welcoming environment for each child; connect with parents and keep them informed of a child's progress and areas to be improved; promote high standards for academic success and behavior; and continually encourage students to meet them.

As a teacher, I feel that I can best meet a child's learning needs by understanding their learning style. This is because all children have a unique and preferred learning style that best suits their intelligence.

I use proven fast-track methods to quickly boost a student's grades. In science, your child will learn strategies to increase retention and answer short and long essay-type questions, among other strategies. In math, your child will learn step-by-step processes of solving even the most challenging questions.

I believe that "Quality Education is an Invaluable Investment that will Reap a Worthwhile Return Over a Lifetime."
