About Me

Helping my six children succeed in school sparked my passion for education and tutoring, which led me to pursue formal teaching training. I received Montessori Teacher Training from UCSB and completed the Waldorf grades teacher program through the WISC, later becoming a grades assistant at Highland Hall Waldorf School. During my children's school years, I also volunteered for several years at a local Kumon reading and math center, where I gained valuable experience supporting students' academic growth. In recent years, I've focused on online teaching, specifically working with the Ignite Reading program, which partners with public schools on the East Coast to help children improve their reading skills. My approach to tutoring is centered around creating a nurturing and supportive environment where students feel confident to explore and learn at their own pace. I believe in the importance of individualized attention and strive to tailor my teaching methods to each student's unique needs.
