Trauma-Informed, Identity-Conscious Tutoring for Students Who Deserve More Than Just a Lesson Plan

Welcome

I’m a teacher, writer, and lifelong learner with over a decade of experience helping students thrive—academically andpersonally.

As a trauma-informed, bilingual tutor with degrees from Columbia University (MA in English Education) and Boston University (BA in Economics & English), I bring a rare mix of academic excellence and deep emotional intelligence to every session.

Whether your student is crafting a college essay, navigating a tough English class, or rebuilding confidence after a challenging school year, I meet them where they are—with empathy, rigor, and real support.

Why It Works

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all teaching. I believe in teaching the whole student.

I help students feel seen and capable—by honoring their identity, encouraging their voice, and building the tools they need to succeed beyond the classroom.

Because success isn’t just about good grades. It’s about self-trust, resilience, and the ability to tell your story with confidence.
