Are you looking for a fun, engaging, effective tutoring experience for your child? I am a highly qualified elementary school teacher with over 20 years of experience, and I would love to work with you and your child!

My specialty is making learning fun for even the most reluctant learner. I infuse my research-based instructional techniques with games, movement, music, and lots of laughter! As a result, my students consistently achieve an average growth score of 70% or more on standardized tests.

My first session with your child is free. I use this time to build rapport by playing games, drawing, and chatting. It also allows me to learn about your child's interests and incorporate them into our tutoring sessions.

In addition to my 20-year career as an elementary teacher, my experience includes:
- Creator and director of 2 tutoring programs
- Instructional coach at Elmwood Village Charter School
- Teacher trainer in the Teachers College Reading and Writing Program
- Teacher Trainer throughout western New York with the Western New York Writing Project
- Mentor teacher for 12 years

More than anything, I bring to my work my passion for teaching, my love of children, and my desire to make a difference in children's lives. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your child! I have a flexible schedule, and I am happy to arrange times that work with your family. I hope to hear from you soon!
