History
I have over two decades of experience teaching most levels from K through 12 in public and private schools
My story
I had a hard time in school. I was a challenge for my teachers, who tried their best, with the understanding they had at the time.
And I didn’t appreciate the profound impact those teachers from my early days would have on my life. Their time, patience, and perseverance has proven to be one of the most valuable gifts I have ever received.
In looking back at my own trials at school, I have come to understand how to reach young students where they are, by tapping into their natural curiosity, and bringing learning to life — even for children who may be struggling at the moment.
And, when that happens, when your child feels empowered to choose their direction and learn to learn — well, then there is nothing they can’t accomplish. The sky truly is the limit.
