I've been caring for kids since my very first sister was born. Three baby sisters, a crowd of younger cousins, countless skinned knees, hugs, and hours of homework help later, I knew nurturing young hearts, bodies, and minds would always be a passion and a priority. I began tutoring privately in high school, transitioning to the classroom in college, where I worked as an assistant ESL teacher with UC Irvine's Educational Outreach Program. Since then, I've taught with Kaplan and toured schools throughout Southern California as a performer and health educator with Kaiser Permanente's Educational Theater Department. Working with 15 to 30 students (sometimes 60!) at a time, I learned that the key to keeping kids focused and interested is to establish an atmosphere of mutual respect. My goal as an educator has been to check in and connect with each student on a personal level, in order to gauge Read more how best to address his or her needs, and to ensure that he or she feels heard and valued. I would love to spend time helping your 3 year old learn colors, your 4th grader finish his homework, or your middle-schooler prep for a math test (...no Calculus please). I can even help your teen practice his Spanish! (I'm fluent.) Plus, as a classically trained actor and singer, I'm a pretty marvelous storyteller, and I kind of rock at sing-alongs. Also, with my background in nutrition, you can trust me dinner. :-)
