About Dana

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello! My name is Dana. I am a former elementary teacher and school administrator and I have my Master's in Teaching. I have taught various grade levels in a variety of school settings, including charter, Title I, and private day schools. I minored in Spanish language as an undergraduate and I taught Spanish in the elementary setting. During my years in education, I worked with a diverse mix of students, including students with learning differences and special needs. I love partnering with families to help each child reach his or her potential. All students deserve to be met where they are and receive education tailored to their learning styles. My strengths include building rapport and trust and fostering a warm and relaxed environment conducive to learning. I am a clear communicator with strong organizational skills. I would love to talk with you about supporting your child!

Dana is an amazing person in so many ways. She has been a school teacher, a school administrator, and an Outward Bound instructor; all professions in which she worked with a variety of children. Her communication skills and organizational skills are excellent. When Dana was an Outward Bound instructor, I witnessed her behavioral management skills as she led a group of students through a specific process for problem solving. I was so impressed, I asked Dana to teach me the process to use with students in my classroom. She has a gift for getting to know a child's needs and responding appropriately. Dana has what I call a 'good head on her shoulders'. She is dependable and dedicated to her students and forms wonderful relationships through patience and love. Dana is fluent in Spanish which has allowed her to overcome a language barrier with many students. I would highly recommend Dana for positions in tutoring, teaching lessons, and caring for children of all ages.
