I have over a decade of experience in working with children, including: academic tutoring, classroom teaching assistance, Montessori coaching, leading a weekly virtual circle time, providing personal care for children with disabilities, and implementing ABA therapy.
My teaching style, as well as my parenting, is deeply informed by the Montessori philosophy. I believe that children are naturally curious, love learning, and crave independence. They desire to be contributing members of their households and communities, and their little minds require opportunities for independence. It is my aim to foster these values in my own children and provide firm - yet gentle - boundaries when needed.
