What I Offer
Successful Learning
Helping Students Thrive
Personalized Attention in Fairfield County
We all seek a successful school experience for our kids. Sometimes big transitions can be rocky. Has homework been overwhelming? Organizational issues causing problems at home? Implementing an individualized tutoring plan can help your child and the whole family make the necessary changes for school success. Your child will greatly benefit from reinforcement and enrichment in a customized 1:1 session. Take advantage of subject review and school support with a tutor while you can get back to enjoying being a family.
Executive Function Support
Making Sense and Success of the New School Year
Are you wanting to step away from having to help micromanage your child's coursework? We can help put the onus (and pride) back on your child. I specialize in helping Fairfield County students master their school year assignments. Through personalized attention, patience, practice, and hard work, learning becomes accessible and enjoyable. Children excel with executive function skill guidance (attend, anticipate, and prioritize), user-friendly systems, and identifying areas of strength and challenge. Students identify how they learn best and learn to better advocate for themselves.
One-on-One and Small Group Sessions
Customized Lessons to Fit
Some children benefit from working 1:1 and others thrive in small groups. A focused intensive learning--a boot camp model--can solidify knowledge. Other times, a child benefits from pre-teaching or enhanced lessons to optimize school success. As an experienced Fairfield County teacher and tutor, I can identify problem areas and work with students to achieve positive and constructive success. Lessons are designed according to student needs, with an emphasis on confidence-boosting activities. Personalize the Fairfield County learning experience. Take advantage of One-on-One Lessons. Get in touch today and help your child excel.
