Having taught Common Core in the classroom for many years, I have the experience necessary to teach these standards in ways that allow students to shine.

These allow students to find tools and strategies that work for them.

Fantastic tutor for neurodivergent kids!

Rogina has done two sessions with my 12 year old daughter so far, and I am already so impressed with her approach! This is our first year homeschooling, and we are in the process of detoxing from school and finding our rhythm. As an AuDHDer, my daughter has been resistant to traditional curriculum, so we decided to find a tutor to help with math and science. Rogina has capitalized on my daughter's current special interests and is working with her to find ways to incorporate learning into her interests in a way that develops curiosity and a true love of learning.
