Frequently Asked Questions

  • I primarily work with students in grades TK–5, with occasional availability for middle school students depending on the student’s needs.

  • Sessions are typically held in the student’s home or at another agreed-upon location that allows for focused learning. For homeschool pods, sessions are usually hosted at one family’s home or a location local for all families included.

  • Most sessions are 2 hours, which allows time for meaningful instruction, practice, and connection without feeling rushed. One-hour sessions are available for families seeking occasional support.

  • I am currently working with families in San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente, and Costa Mesa. If you're unsure whether you're within my travel area, feel free to reach out!

  • Families typically provide their student’s homeschool curriculum if they have one. I’m happy to work within your chosen program and supplement with additional materials when helpful. I come prepped and ready with my ‘classroom in a basket’ which includes all material I think will be helpful for your child’s session.

  • A homeschool pod is a small group of students (typically 3-5) who learn together weekly. Pods allow students to benefit from collaboration and discussion while still receiving personalized instruction.

  • Many families use educational funds through charter programs such as Cabrillo Point Academy. Payment may also be made privately depending on your family's preference. Payments for monthly packages are due one week prior to the 1st of each month.

  • Life happens! I ask families to give at least 24 hours notice when possible. Make-up sessions may be offered depending on availability.

  • My goal is to create a calm, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and growing at their own pace. I often incorporate hands-on materials and manipulatives to help students better understand concepts and stay engaged in the learning process.

    I also value partnering closely with parents and working within your chosen homeschool approach so students experience consistency and support both during our sessions and throughout their learning at home.
