About Maxine

Unlocking a student's potential begins with fostering genuine curiosity rather than rote memorization. My teaching philosophy blends patience with kinesthetic learning; I utilize my theatre background to incorporate movement and play, ensuring concepts resonate in both the mind and body. Whether we are tackling Math, History, or English, I prioritize building your student's confidence through positive reinforcement and breaking complex problems into manageable steps. I adapt my methods by actively observing how a student interacts with new material and maintaining open communication with families. I find immense joy in watching a student's face light up as they master a challenging skill. I am happy to meet at your home, the library, or a local community center to support your child's academic journey. I truly look forward to the opportunity to grow alongside your student and help them find their own unique spark.
