Getting to know you
In my one-on-one work with students and families I specialize in getting to know the student from a personal, child-centered perspective, building the trust necessary to develop a meaningful working relationship.

From there I work to discover the student's motivators, goals, wishes, and dreams, as well as his or her academic strengths and challenges. Once we have developed rapport and have some direction, we can set tangible goals and work together to achieve them.

I believe that parents are an integral part of every child's educational progress and success. Parents are greatly valued in my work with students, and contribute meaningfully to goal-setting, helping motivate the child, and giving us all direction and focus.

In all, communication, trust, and collaboration are key components of every service I provide.

One Size Does Not Fit All
It is typical in my experience for parents and students to be frustrated by the "one size fits all" mentality that they find in their schools - one course of study; one way of teaching; one expected learning style; and one type of student product that is valued and rewarded.  One alternative some families choose is to home-school their children - a great decision, but one that is also laden with complexities and challenges.  When I work with families and students it is to create a UNIQUE learning situation that will benefit the individual student best. Once we create that solution we can work to make that solution fit into the school's and/ or state's expectations.  I am your educational advocate; I work to help you and your child navigate the waters of whatever school or school system you choose.
