About Von
I am a certified K–6 educator and currently a law student with a strong foundation in writing, reasoning, and academic instruction. I previously taught at one of the highest-performing elementary schools in Missouri, where I led rigorous instruction in math, reading, and writing. My background also includes speechwriting and political communications at the federal level, which strengthens my ability to teach advanced writing, argumentation, and historical analysis. I bring both structure and patience to every session, helping students understand complex material clearly and confidently.
