Jamae (she / siya) teaches to share knowledge and foster growth. She aims to offer resources and strategies based on students’ interests, prior knowledge, current skills, and potential. As an educator, she believes any student can learn if they possess the desire.


“The teacher . . . does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind.”

~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet


Her particular skill set includes needs assessment, organization, lesson planning, instruction, and management. She has experience teaching in a variety of

  • settings (classroom, online platform, recreation center, dance studio)
  • roles (primary / substitute teacher, tutor, teaching assistant)

to a wide range of ages (youth, adult, parent participation).

With empowerment at the heart of her teaching style, she uses her transferable skills and experience to create safe, inclusive learning spaces.
