About Alexa

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! After receiving my masters degree in curriculum and instruction, I taught English as a Second Language in the NC public school system. In 2023, in addition to serving as the School Leadership Team Chair, I was named my school's Teacher of the Year. I have taught Spanish at the middle school and university level, as well as run a Spanish immersion residential learning program at UNC Chapel Hill. I have developed English curriculum that has been instituted in 35 public high schools. Most recently, I served as an adjunct professor of education at UNC Charlotte. I am bilingual and hold two NC teaching licenses in English language arts and ESL. I am passionate about making learning meaningful, fun, and hands-on, while ensuring that students master the necessary content for success on standardized measures. My primary goal is to help your child feel confident in their abilities and proud of their academic success! I absolutely love teaching and am looking forward to working with you!

Alexa came into our lives during a particularly challenging year and period of development for our youngest child, a 9th grader, who was struggling academically and socially since the start of the pandemic and on-line learning. She had returned to in school and had seen a significant fall in her grades and self esteem. We knew Alexa was the perfect fit for our family as soon as we met. She took careful time to understand our needs and concerns and outline a plan for success. She was methodical in planning for each session and was genuinely interested in knowing our child, her interests and character. Most importantly, she met her where she was and helped her believe that she was capable of being a great student; that all challenges were opportunities, and to never give up. For the first time, she offered some space and relief to us, as parents, because we trusted her to take lead in the implementation of a new plan. We were kept “in the loop” weekly, as Alexa shared trackable results and goals. As a mom and teacher, myself, I enthusiastically recommend and support Alexa in all of her endeavors. I know that she will pour her heart, energy, and brilliance into all of her work and everyone she touches. We are forever thankful.
