She is currently working as an Integrated Kindergarten teacher in Malden Public Schools. Ashley enjoys developing personalized curriculum for students in order to meet their specific learning style and needs.

Ashley says: “I enjoy working with kids because of their positive outlook! They keep me young at heart. I first wanted to become a tutor because I love teaching and wanted to be able to work with kids one-on-one outside of my typical classroom settings. I think a tutor must be patient, humorous, and sensitive to their kids’ individual needs. My favorite subject has always been reading and writing. When not working with students, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with my two cats and turtle, going for walks, and attending concerts. I also enjoy yoga as a way to wind down from a busy teaching schedule. Spending time with friends and family, including my two godsons, is also very important to me.”
