With over 25 years of experience in education, I’ve journeyed through the classroom, around the homeschool table, and into the world of professional tutoring and brain training. I began as a traditional classroom teacher, later stepped into the role of a full-time homeschooling mom, and now work as a professional tutor and learning coach for students in grades K–12.
Throughout every season of my career, my passion has remained the same: helping each student thrive by honoring their unique learning style, strengths, and needs. I believe education should never be one-size-fits-all. Whether I’m supporting students in a classroom, at home, or one-on-one, I use curriculum as a tool—not a script—focusing instead on connection, curiosity, and meaningful learning.
My teaching style blends hands-on experiences, thoughtful discussion, and movement-based activities to create engaging, responsive learning environments. I’m known for adapting lessons on the fly, leaning into each child’s interests, and building confidence alongside academic growth.
As the founder of A Better Way to Homeschool, I’ve mentored thousands of homeschooling parents, equipping them with practical tools, encouragement, and a reminder that they’re not alone. I also specialize in bridging the gap between educational settings—homeschool, private, public, and tutoring—to create a cohesive and empowering learning journey for each student.
Today, I continue this work as a brain training coach, helping students strengthen the cognitive foundations that support learning. Whether a child struggles with focus, memory, or processing speed, I come alongside families to offer compassionate, personalized support.
My mission is simple: to cultivate a lifelong love of learning and help students walk forward with confidence and joy.
