California Credentialed and Montessori Teacher

Specializing in English Language Arts

I approach teaching with the goal of encouraging critical thinking, self expression, and creativity. I encourage my students to treat challenges as possibilities.

I have worked as an educator with students of all ages for over 20 years and teach one on one tutoring with students from the United States, Europe and the Far East. I have found the flexibility of the Zoom platform to be highly effective  for my students.
