"I hold a Master's degree in Education and have been teaching and homeschooling neurodivergent students for over a decade in various settings, from private one-on-one lessons to classroom environments. My educational background has given me a deep understanding of how different students learn, and I've made it my specialty to adapt my teaching methods to meet each student exactly where they are. I've worked with students ranging from young children just beginning their learning journey to adults returning after years away, and I've found that the key to success is always the same: patience, flexibility, and meeting individual needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

My teaching experience spans both in-person and online formats, and I've taught students of all skill levels. I currently teach at an established music school while also maintaining private lessons, which has given me experience with structured curriculum as well as personalized lesson planning. I'm particularly skilled at working with students who struggle in traditional learning environments—whether due to ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, or simply a different learning style. Having navigated my own neurodivergent learning journey, I understand firsthand how frustrating education can be when teaching methods don't match how your brain works, and I've developed strategies to make lessons engaging, low-pressure, and enjoyable.

My approach is student-centered and goal-oriented. I start by understanding what each student wants to achieve and what motivates them, then build lessons around those goals while developing solid foundational skills. I believe learning should be joyful, not stressful, and I work hard to create an environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and progress at their own pace. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to advance your skills, I'll work with you to create a learning experience that fits your life, your learning style, and your goals." less...
