About Makenna

Unlocking a student's unique potential drives my passion for education. As a Certified teacher with experience supporting elementary and middle school students in Math and English, I focus on building confidence rather than simple memorization. I assess your child's learning style through active listening and observation, tailoring my methods--whether through visual aids or hands-on practice--to meet their specific needs. By connecting complex concepts to real-world interests, I foster critical thinking and keep students engaged. I prioritize open communication with families to ensure we are aligned on your child's progress. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student finally masters a challenging skill. I am eager to help your student grow, and I look forward to embarking on this academic journey with your family.
