About Desha

Unlocking a student's unique potential drives my approach to education. With seven years of experience in Math and Music & Drama, I focus on building confidence rather than simple memorization. I empower elementary and middle school students to develop critical thinking skills by breaking complex problems into manageable steps. My teaching method adapts to you through active listening, incorporating visual aids, hands-on activities, and open dialogue. I prioritize clear communication with families to ensure a collaborative environment where every learner thrives. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a concept finally clicks remains the most rewarding part of my work. Whether we meet at your home, a library, or online, I am ready to support your academic journey. I am also fluent in Sign Language (ASL) and hold CPR training and First Aid certifications. I truly look forward to helping you reach your goals.
