I provide academic tutoring services for students in elementary, middle, and high school. My tutoring focuses on a heart-centered, relationship-based approach that empowers students with the academic, social, and organizational skills they need to become independent lifelong learners.

Willing to travel: 30 miles

Experience: I received my Masters in Education from Columbia University, Teachers College. I have professional training and instructional experience from the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Reggio Emilia frameworks. I began my career as an elementary classroom teacher in New York City, and have since taught in Thailand, Italy, and San Francisco. My mission as a tutor is to empower my students with the academic, social, and organizational skills they need to become independent learners. I have a strong belief that children possess complete competence, limitless potential, and the innate ability to construct their own meaning of their experiences. Therefore, I help my students meet their goals by building on their questions and interests, engaging them in problem solving and critical thinking, and applying those skills to real-life situations. I provide such learning experiences by applying my knowledge of the IB and Reggio Emilia, as well as my training in mindfulness and meditation to reduce stress and increase academic performance.
