Toby: Versailles tutor
Certified Tutor
As a passionate educator with a Master's in Environmental Science and Policy and over 20 years of instructional experience, I'm dedicated to fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning in every student. I have worked in a public-school setting with learners K-12, as well as adults. I specialize in elementary skills (math and reading comprehension) and upper-level Environmental Science, Earth Science, and adult learning. My teaching approach focuses on understanding each student's unique learning style and connecting academic concepts to real-world applications. As a former diplomat at the United Nations and the Department of State, I am an expert in public speaking, negotiations, and interviews.
I am also a mother of two students and a youth ice hockey coach, and I understand the learning journey from both educational and parental perspectives. I'm committed to supporting students with patience, encouragement, and personalized instruction that makes learning both effective and enjoyable.

Undergraduate Degree: Colgate University - Bachelor of Science, Geography
I’m a former Division I ice hockey player with a lifelong passion for learning, coaching, and helping others reach their full potential. I bring the same energy and discipline from the rink to my work with students—whether it’s tutoring academics, mentoring young athletes, or supporting personal growth. I currently coach youth hockey and serve on the board of a local swim team, where I love being part of a strong, supportive community. Outside of sports and tutoring, you’ll often find me baking (pies are my specialty!) or enjoying live music. I aim to bring focus, encouragement, and a bit of fun to every session.
