Did I Mention the Teacher-Student Connection?
Yep, it’s a thing. In every session, I make sure students feel seen, heard, and supported.
With parent permission, students can send me their finished stories, burning questions, or “look what I wrote!” moments anytime. I cheer them on, offer tips, and help their confidence grow - even between classes.
Every session and every email is a chance to connect and encourage.

Whether your child is stuck, struggling, or ready to soar, I’m here to help them find their voice and maybe even fall in love with words along the way.
