About Ashleigh

I offer K-8 tutoring, drawing on my experience teaching music and supporting mathematics instruction in public schools. I see this work as more than prepping kids for the next standardized test (as important as that is in today's world). To me, tutoring is a calling to foster the personhood and dignity of some of the most awesome and under-appreciated members of our community: our children. My 13 years as a student of classical education, one year as an EA in mathematics, and three years teaching K-8 music in public schools have convinced me that the most effective approach to education is fundamentally relational. My own work with children has, for this reason, always been first and foremost person-centric. Children learn from adults they admire, respect, and care for, and by whom they feel respected and cared for in return. This is the kind of environment I strive to bring to my teaching and tutoring; the kind that leaves a child looking forward to his next session.
