For the past 19 months I have served as a certified reading tutor, providing daily one on one instruction remotely to students K-8th grade with the necessary tools to recognize words and language comp... rehension so that they can become skillful readers. By utilizing resources developed from the Science of Reading, I tutored students on various components such as developing phonemic awareness, how to recognize words, word comprehension, decoding and fluency so that they can become skillful readers. I also have experience with using online meeting software such as Zoom and have used a variety of annotation tools to reinforce topics as well as create a fun and friendly educational space for students to thrive. Alongside tutoring I have 20 years experience teaching individualized music instruction providing voice and piano music lessons for students ages 4 and up, along with early childhood music for ages infancy-pre-K. I am very passionate about helping students achieve their personal goals through learning. I believe that giving students the tools needed to fine tune their study skills will definitely set them up for success. From my overall experience as a tutor, I believe all students deserve the opportunity to receive tailored instruction to help overcome any challenges with processing and retaining information. It pleases me to help learners overcome challenges, celebrate their successes, and to be a part of the exciting journey of bringing out the best in them. read more

Hi! Since 2002 Ive been well versed as a performer and educator in music. I've performed and recorded professionally and have enjoyed teaching music classes to children and adults for over 20 years. O... riginally from MD, I received my Bachelor's degree in Music at George Washington University and my Master's Degree in Vocal Performance at Catholic University of America in Washington DC.

Residing in Georgia, I am a wife and mom of two talented girls, and also enjoy crafting, gardening and dancing. My goal is to empower students to develop self-esteem, confidence, and discipline as they set goals for themselves. Whether I am teaching private piano lessons or providing voice instruction, I enjoy helping students discover who they are through their innate abilities to THINK, CREATE, and PERFORM. Through music classes I motivate and embrace each student’s originality as musicians and performers while helping them improve and have fun!read more
