About
I love helping students learn! I have a Minor in Spanish Langauge and a Bachelors in Business Administration from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan and I am working on my Masters in Speech-Language Pathology from Eastern Michigan. I have previously worked as a preschool assistant teacher, worked as a nanny for children ages 5 and 8, and have tutored a college student who suffered a brain injury. I have diverse experience and I would love to help your child!
Considering children spend the majority of time at school, helping a child to gain confidence academically is so important. Getting to watch a child grow to be able to independently be able to do something that I helped them learn is the most rewarding experience!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I love to take a session to identify opportunities and goals with the parent and student for our time together. I am very flexible about how our sessions can be used. This could look like time working on homework together, building a specific skill (like addition for example), or reading together. With school disruptions over the past year, a little extra support for your student can go a long way!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a minor in Spanish Language and a Bachelors in Business Administration from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. I have a partial Master's from Eastern Michigan University in Speech-Language Pathology.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started teaching?
I have always loved working with children! I left my business career in order to have a career that I can be primarily working with children. I have lots of experience from working as a Safety Town instructor in high school to working in a preschool to nannying for a family with two children. There is nothing more rewarding than watching your child grow!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have primarily worked with students aged 3-5 years, but I love children of all ages and have experience with elementary, middle, and college age students. I have also worked with children on the spectrum and with brain injuries.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I really like acknowledging the small wins! Even something as small as pulling out the right materials to work on homework is an accomplishment and should be acknowleged for challenged learners.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would ensure that the teacher has experience and is passionate to help children learn.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I think a student should think about what they would like to improve upon in school and why. Often addressing the why around a student improving their academic abilities creates both buy-in and motivation for the student to succeed!
