Hi! I'm a certified teacher offering individual and small group tutoring, as well as Learning Pod sessions that can be customized to what parents would like. With 20 years of experience teaching children from Pre-K to Grade 6, I love to meet students where they are at and create rich and engaging learning experiences to help them grow. I am offering the four programs listed below, which include school age tutoring, Learning Pods, and two play-based programs specializing in language development for ages 2-5. Please send me a message if you would like more info! I'm happy to provide references too. Current availability is Tues & Thurs mornings, with the potential of expanding if spots fill up.

School Age Tutoring – Grades K to 6
This program offers individualized and multi-sensory support in the subject area(s) of your choice. I will program according to your child’s needs and interests.
Time: 1 hour, which includes 50 minutes of tutoring and 10 minutes of clean up and transition.
Cost 1: $45/hour for one-on-one sessions
Cost 2: $25/hour/child if your child's goals align with another student and we can run it like a small group program

Learning Pods - Grades K to 6
I can customize this program to fit what you are looking for if there are a couple families interested in joining up for a weekly Learning Pod activity. We can focus on art projects, creating comic strips, or another topic of choice. You choose!
Time: 1 hour, which includes 50 minutes of programming and 10 minutes of clean up and transition.
Cost: $25/hour/child (you can choose to sign up for 2 back-to-back slots if you would like a longer program time)

Play & Learn Together – Small group program
This program focuses on language development for ages 2-5 in the context of peer interaction. Your child will attend at the same time as 1 or 2 other children and participate in a variety of teacher-led activities designed to facilitate talking and interacting.
Time: 1 hour, which includes 50 minutes of programming and 10 minutes of clean up and transition.
Cost: $25/hour/child (you can choose to sign up for 2 back-to-back slots if you would like a longer program time for your child)

Play & Learn – Individual program
This program offers one-on-one language development for ages 2-5. I will have a few play options ready for your child when they come, but will ultimately follow your child’s lead to engage them in language with what they are interested in.
Time: 1 hour, which includes 50 minutes of programming and 10 minutes of clean up and transition.
Cost: $45/hour

My own two kids have been the guinea pigs for a lot of my teaching ideas and have inspired me with a lot of their own ideas. This bucket of buttons and silk flowers helped me facilitate an hour's worth of conversation as they hung out in their jammies.
