Introduction

I began my career in education by happenstance during my senior year at Mount Holyoke College. A work-study placement uncovered my deeply rooted passion for middle school education. Since then, I have taught fifth through eighth humanities and history, most recently teaching sixth-grade history at a private school in Westport, CT. I went on to earn my Master’s in Curriculum and Teaching from Boston University. One of the many things I love about teaching is seeing my student's eyes light up when they learn and understand new concepts. My subjects/areas of expertise are English Language Arts, history, reading, writing, and study skills. I truly believe that every child can learn and look forward to supporting your child!

I immediately saw a difference once I began using Selassie's services. I made sure to refer her to all my friends. Her attention to detail and caring persona are unmatched.
