Help Is Here!
About
I like to think of myself as an "academic coach." I love to help students get organized, learn their strengths and weaknesses, and overcome academic challenges so they can do their best work. I am also all about focussing on each student's personality and interests as a way to make schoolwork more enjoyable. A sense of humor always helps too!
I have experience working with students in preschool through high school, and I enjoy helping them develop better work habits, and finding new ways to approach the things they are struggling with in order to minimize stress and frustration and maximize success in school.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I find the best way to help a new student is to work on homework together so I can see how the student approaches their work, and then work together on strategies to improve, especially in the areas they find challenging. As mentioned, I also spend time getting to know the student's personality and interests in order to form a positive relationship and to make learning and schoolwork more fun.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
