I am a retired, N.J. certified elementary school teacher and an avid learner as well. After retiring, I became an educational coach and thanks to technology, I have students in many different parts of the country.

Beyond my experience as a classroom educator; I have worked in the fields of curriculum development, teacher mentoring and parent/teacher liaison. I pride myself on providing a non-threatening environment in which students feel comfortable taking the risks and building the confidence they need to succeed. Learning should be exciting and interesting. Connecting reading, writing and math to real life and your child's interests, acts as an important tool, promoting ongoing motivation.

My lessons are customized to ensure that the common core standards are being met, while your learner feels connected to the material. I love what I do and I have been told that this comes across in my enthusiasm and teaching. I look forward to being a part of your child's educational team and their evolving love of learning.
