My work with children and teens: a few additional notes

My priorities, in order, are ensuring that the child feels safe, content, valued for who they are, and /then/ whatever the organizing task may be.

• When working with kids and teens, I use age-appropriate humor, positive incentives like stickers, and abundant patience. I enjoy helping children and teens learn valuable lifelong skills.

​​

• I don’t “drill” kids, but rather pay close attention to whether they’re having fun.

• I make an agreement with each child that if they’re getting tired or confused in any way, they’ll tell me so that we can stop to course-correct (and if necessary, stop entirely).

• I care about helping all children succeed, regardless of their families' financial resources. I offer sliding scale discounts in cases of financial need. Please contact me to discuss further.
