WE'VE GOT THIS
As with most parents, I felt overwhelmed with the new online learning platforms in 2020. Parents around the world were expected to become teachers and computer wizards overnight (and felt doomed when we realized we were not). Imagine how our children felt. Many children went from succeeding in school to hating it. If you have a pre-teen/teenager... the days of stress free homework are probably long gone. While I can't help with every teenage ailment... I can alleviate the pressure of school!
While working with your child my focus is to help maneuver their online platform, teach organizational/management skills, show them how to be their own advocate and teach them to be a better test taker. As their academic coach I will hold them accountable to complete and turn in their work, help them prepare for exams, and promote proper communication skills to use with parents and teachers.
While each child requires a different approach, my main goal is to change my students' mindsets and by helping them create proper executive function skills to transform their daily routine of procrastination and apathy for school, to organized and excited to learn! Are you ready to take the journey?

STRATEGIZE
Creating a sustainable academic strategy for both you and your child is my ultimate goal. With a clear understanding of their areas of concern, academic responsibilities and long term goals, I'll work with your child to streamline their academic career.
ENCOURAGE
Encouraging children each day to take the necessary steps towards achieving their goals can sometimes become a parenting nightmare. I'm here to support and encourage both parent and child by lending an extra hand in monitoring weekly assignments / projects, promoting good study habits and more. Ultimately taking the daily burden off of your relationship.

ABOUT ME
I have my Bachelors in Early Childhood Education and have worked in education for 20 years. I am a USAF veteran and served my country working in Pediatrics, finishing my USAF career as an Aeromedical Evacuation Technician and Flight Instructor with the 459th AES out of Andrews AFB. The USAF taught me many valuable skills but especially leadership, the importance of being a follower when called upon, how to adapt and overcome difficult situations and to use integrity at all times. These skills have been invaluable in the classroom and when applied correctly, they have become lifelong skills for the children I work with. Teaching children to be the best they can be academically, socially and emotionally has become my absolute passion.
When I was asked to run a pod (study group) out of my house during Covid, the only answer was "absolutely!". In those 4 months I learned a new set of skills which I still utilize while working with my students today. While typical tutors are focused on academics only, I can offer the whole package. With compassion and communication I encourage not only good academic habits, but proper social skills your child can use for a lifetime, setting them up to be successful in school and beyond.
