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.
