Minneapolis Elementary Tutor - Reading, Math & STEM

"I believe all children are unique and have the ability to learn when provided with the right environment and tools for success.  I strive to create an environment where my students grow physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially.  And I encourage my students to share their ideas and take risks.  I love teaching and challenging all of my students to reach their full potential."

“I want to thank you for helping me out a ton this school year! You are my favorite teacher by far.  I like how you have a student-teacher relationship with everybody in my class!  I'm going to miss you a lot over the summer and into middle school and I hope we can stay in contact.”
