Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to begin with a "get to know you" type of interview with both the parent and the student as well as a needs assessment and learning style profile.
A general pre-test will follow to determine specific areas of growth and improvement. These results will be shared with the parent and student.
Then, once focused sessions begin, they will include fun warm-ups, direct instruction, individual practice, assessments, and enrichment.
I like to incorporate music and movement as well as student interests to help increase motivation, engagement and make the learning experience more child-centered.

Bachelors of Science Elementary Education
Master of Arts Educational Leadership

How did you get started teaching?
I have always wanted to be a teacher, ever since I was 8 years old. I love helping children learn, probably because I love to learn. I love to read, use my hands, explore and have new experiences!
I know how difficult or unpleasant a school year can be when a child continues to struggle, so I count it a privilege to be able to help them get over that "hump" and have their "aha" moment!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have been very fortunate to work with every type of student.
Grades Pre-K thru 6th. I spent the first half of my career working in Title 1 schools and focused on helping students improve their reading and math deficiencies. The second half of my career was spent working with children who were gifted and talented as well as in need of remediation.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Any student who works with me needs to know that I will expect them to bring their best self every time we meet! And I will bring my best self! Be ready to make the most of our time together with Hard Work that will be rewarded in fun and creative ways!
