Teaching Skills & Creating Confidence

No two children learn in quite the same way or at the same pace but all children have the capacity to learn. Your child’s individual approach to learning determines how I plan a program that will not only be engaging for your child but which will effectively assist your child in reaching their goals. Have they stalled in a subject?  I  work with you and your child, designing lessons specifically with your child's needs in mind. I don't use a pre-packaged curriculum instead I pull from my expertise of over 23 years of teaching in grades K-6 and my knowledge of local, state, and national standards to develop effective, engaging lessons that will help your child gain the skills and confidence they need to be successful in school and in life.  

Maybe your child is successful at school but is passionate about a particular subject and you want to provide some additional enrichment opportunities. l can create a personally designed projects for your student addressing the learning opportunities you have in mind. 

Want to invite a couple of friends to join in on the fun?  My semi-private tutoring sessions are often a fun way to get quality instruction at a more affordable price.

Can't get away to attend a tutoring session or need the flexibility of meeting when it fits your schedule instead of a set time every week? My online sessions are perfect for the busy household where travel time is an issue.  

Note: Due to COVID-19, all sessions are online until further notice.
