About Leila

Empowering students to reach their full potential is the core of my teaching practice. With a graduate degree and 20 years of experience as an educator, I specialize in English, creative writing, the college essay, and reading fluency. I assess your student's unique learning style through active observation, tailoring my approach with visual aids, hands-on activities, and targeted discussions. When concepts become challenging, I bridge the gap by connecting material to personal interests and breaking complex problems into manageable steps. I communicate with families so that we can all celebrate your learner's successes and to ensure consistent progress and support. My goal is to foster confidence while celebrating milestones. Seeing a student's face light up when a difficult concept finally clicks is such a joy.
