Hi! I want to share my story of how I have come to be the owner of Smart Future Tutoring!

I grew up having the hardest time reading! I remember my parents getting me extra help when I needed it though tutors or small groups in school!

Through middle and high school, reading clicked and I knew I wanted to help students get through their reading troubles! 4 years of undergrad in Elementary and Early Childhood was not enough! I went on to get my masters in Reading Education and become a Certified Reading Specialist and then started working as a first grade teacher in AACPS! I also worked for families in the Autism Waiver for 3 years while in school, and love helping students of all ability levels. While working in AACPS, I was trained in many science of reading curriculums like University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI), Wilson's Fundations, Heggerty, and more!

​

6+ years later, I realized I wanted to stay at home for a while with my beautiful daughter! I was not done teaching though. I had been tutoring after school for a few years and knew I could continue helping students one-on-one to reach their reading and math goals! Here we are! I love what I do, and I love to see students make crazy growth in their grades, confidence, test scores, and more! 

 I want to share my story of how I became a tutor at Smart Future Tutoring! As I was growing up, my mom was an elementary school teacher. I always admired the way she made a difference in her students’ lives and I dreamed of being a teacher myself!

After earning my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education, I followed in my mother’s footsteps and became a 5th grade teacher for BCPS! After years teaching 5th grade, I went on to support 2nd and 3rd grade students with Autism in Augusta, Georgia. Afterwards, I served as a preschool teacher for Towson University’s child care center for a couple years. At each school, my love for helping students grow in both their academic and social/emotional skills only grew but I wanted to find a place that also supported a healthy work/life balance. 

That’s when I found Smart Future Tutoring! Here, I’ll have the opportunity to spend more time a home while continuing to help students succeed academically and feel good about themselves! I’m so excited to work your family and help make a positive impact!

Hi! Growing up, school generally felt easy for me. As an adult, specifically as a teacher, I see that a large part of that was my ability to find strategies and supports that work best for me in all areas of learning and to apply them consistently. I believe all students, of all abilities, CAN access learning and sometimes we just need to try different methods and/or build a stronger foundation for it to become accessible. 

I am excited to join the Smart Future Tutoring team to expand my reach on helping students within AACPS. I am a current AACPS teacher available for virtual or in-person tutoring. I can support your students in reading, writing, and math at the elementary and middle school levels, as well as for Algebra and Geometry at the high school level.  As a special education teacher, I specialize in finding the strategies and supports that work best for your student! I hold 10 years experience working with students with and without disabilities within a variety of content and classroom settings. I hope I can help your student find

Hi! I'm a math tutor with over 10 years of experience helping students in grades 6–10 build confidence and succeed. I hold a master’s degree in Data Science and am certified to teach math from grade 6 through Algebra 2. Whether you're looking to strengthen core skills or take on more advanced topics, I tailor each session to your learning style and goals.

I’ve been teaching most of my life—starting at age 15 with martial arts—and it’s truly what I know and love. As a kid, I remember forgetting much of what I learned over the summer, which is why I’m passionate about keeping the mind active during those months. Summer is a perfect time to catch up, get ahead, or deepen understanding. Give your student the advantage of personalized instruction that keeps their skills sharp and their confidence growing.

Outside of tutoring, you can find me in the gym, cooking, making music, or spending time with friends and family. I’m dedicated to making math approachable, enjoyable, and something you can succeed at with the right support—and I’d love to help you get there!
