I am a highly committed and experienced educator with over eight years of experience working in high school settings. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of adolescent learning and development, and I consistently support students in achieving both academic success and personal growth.

With a strong commitment to professional development, I continually seek new strategies and tools to enhance my teaching practice and better serve my students.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, cooking, and engaging in community service. My well-rounded experience and genuine love for working with young people make me a dedicated and effective tutor and mentor for students of all ages.

Grace F.

Originally from Elmhurst, she discovered her love of teaching while helping classmates with writing, research, and public speaking.
