About Leslie

For the past 17 years, I've been a certified teacher dedicated to helping early childhood students excel in beginning literacy and math skills. I hold a graduate degree in Early Childhood Education and believe every student possesses unique potential, achievable through personalized support. I focus on building confidence and a genuine love for learning, creating an engaging, supportive, and patient environment. I actively listen to students and observe their interactions with new material, adapting my teaching with visual aids, hands-on activities, and discussions. I celebrate small successes and provide positive reinforcement to keep students motivated. Open communication with students and parents is essential for understanding needs, setting expectations, and building trust. Witnessing a student's "aha!" moment and growing confidence is incredibly rewarding. I'm excited to share my passion for education and help your child thrive.
