About Mary

Empowering students to reach their full potential through personalized support is the foundation of my teaching practice. With three years of experience, I specialize in English, history, test preparation, and study skills for elementary through high school students. I hold a college degree and maintain certifications in Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Student accommodation plans (504). My approach focuses on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning. By observing your unique learning style, I adapt my methods--using visual aids, hands-on activities, or discussions--to ensure concepts click. I break complex problems into manageable steps and celebrate every small success along the way. I believe clear, consistent communication with both you and your family is essential for long-term growth. Whether we meet at your home, a library, or online, I look forward to helping you thrive and sharing in your next "aha!" moment.
