To Parents and Teachers:
Let’s face it: teaching and learning, especially for school-aged students, is much more powerful in person. But, given this challenging situation we are in, we might need to consider digital or online options. I can offer some unique experiences for students, most of which they will not experience in traditional school settings.
If you are a parent and would like your child to maintain or strengthen skills or gain additional learning, my lessons are unique and supportive of your child’s well-being. Because I am a trained Waldorf teacher, my lessons are highly interactive, contain elements of movement and artistic work, and are very different from most conventional school lessons. Because I also have a background in technology, my lessons are crafted with developmental understanding of learning and screen time engagement, which is different at every age and stage.
I also offer:
Support if you or your child needs assistance understanding or engaging in assignments from your child’s school
Resources for fun and engaging projects, math resources, and other age-appropriate activities
Opportunities for engaging and unique collaborative group projects
Activities that can keep your child busy while minimizing screen time.
