Tapping into Each Child's Energy
I like to create an environment where students feel comfortable and challenged, which begins by building a foundation of trust and safety.
Every child has a different “energy,” and I like tuning into that energy to customize learning activities around it. Initially, some students are anxious and self-conscious about their learning struggles, which I fully understand.
As a child, I struggled with reading and am so grateful I had a tutor! She was kind and patient, never made me feel bad about my mistakes, and showed me tips and techniques to improve. As a result, reading has become a real pleasure in my life and it's the subject I most enjoy teaching. I want to be that same kind of tutor for my students; to have that kind of positive impact on their lives.
I love working with 6- to 12-year-olds, seeing them blossom from impressionable lower-elementary students to greater autonomy in junior high. Watching students grow confident in subjects that they initially struggled to understand is extremely rewarding.
