Grab your favourite cuppa and let's dig in. I’m a former classroom teacher turned tutor and mental wellbeing advocate. With over ten years of teaching experience, I understand the complex needs that our children require to feel confident, focused, and capable to try. I’ve also come to appreciate just how different we all are, and whilst it’s true that we have obvious similarities, there needs to be a unique approach that serves each child.

My true passion is supporting students to step into their confidence. My years as the lead coordinator for our local Babysitters Club and as the classroom teacher designated to support students emotionally, have taught me a few things that I believe are integral to learning:

• Students who are happy and safe can learn better
• Students often don’t know how to study or learn, yet once they are shown, they thrive
• Students are happiest learning from a stranger (it’s not personal, I promise!)

One of my greatest motivating factors is the proof that I saw in my own classroom when we began including mindfulness techniques in our learning. Students became less agitated before exams, I heard less of the "Miss, my tummy hurts" on test days, and concentration levels increased as well! Bringing these skills beyond the classroom and into homes has been incredibly rewarding for both myself and the families we work with.

I’m passionate about collaborating with teachers, tutors and parents, just like you, who share my belief in supporting our children’s academic and emotional journeys. My belief is that every child deserves dedicated mentorship that provides clarity, equips them with practical tools and creates a mindset that will strengthen their mental health and propel them into leading a life that they - and you - are proud of and happy with!

Away from tutoring, I love road trips filled with a spot of impromptu karaoke, snuggling up with a journal, having improvised dance parties and video calling my family in Canada!
