Guidance needed? Remedial support? Challenging or confusing academics? Scattered binders or paperwork? Intimidated by assignments, research, or math? Let's work together so I can support your educational needs. My first priority is to connect with your child, then, and only then can we set up the tools, games, and academics that will work best! I use a large variety of skills and techniques, combined with humor, understanding, and empowerment for each student to move ahead at their own pace.

I have an Ed.D. and over 25 years of knowledgeable experience teaching students of all ages (children through adults). Student success involves my positive and upbeat attitude, creative teaching skills, vast knowledge, and a love of working with individuals and small groups. I will come to your home to work with you or your child(ren), teaching all school curriculum, study skills, language development, basic to advanced writing, comprehension, reading, math through pre-algebra, and or homework support.

As they learn and improve their skills, we have fun with each new challenge. Trust my methods that are calm, interactive, encouraging, and... Read More

You'll be able to create new favorites for yourself and your entire family. Read More
