I primarily work with students in grades TK–5, with occasional availability for middle school students depending on the student’s needs.
-
I have reached capacity for the 2026/2027 academic year and am so incredibly grateful! If anything changes in my schedule, I will contact those on my WAITLIST first.

I do! ‘Intro to the Table’ Summer Sessions are a gentle and engaging way to keep learning going while still embracing the slower rhythm of the season. I will begin booking for summer in early 2027.

Sessions are held at my San Clemente or Costa Mesa locations!

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.

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 materials I think will be helpful for your child’s session.

A homeschool small group session is a group of students (typically 4-5) who learn together weekly. Small groups allow students to benefit from collaboration and discussion while still receiving personalized instruction. Students typically work through the same curriculum together.

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! Kids get sick, vacay calls, babies are born… I get it! I ask families to give at least 24 hours notice when possible. Make-up sessions may be offered within the same month, 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.
