Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know a student while also being productive in the first session. Depending on age I like to connect on common interests and also understand their struggles with the material and what they want to prioritize. My philosophy is to treat with as much maturity and respect as possible.

A Bachelors degree in speech and hearing sciences from the George Washington University in Washington DC. Worked in the preschool systems of Washington DC through Jumpstart, an early childhood literacy program. I also spent one year working for Lindamood Bell Learning Processes, wising in dyslexia and ADHD as well as comprehension issues. In this job I taught reading remediation, math, as well as homeschool subjects to students in kindergarten through high school. I am also a dance teacher, teaching large classes for ballet, jazz and modern to kids and adults of all ages, mainly at Just Dance Academy in San Rafael, CA. Additionally, I am a certified backpacking guide with a Wilderness First Responder and lifeguard certification. Always worked with the children since before I entered college.
