About Shannon

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is my passion. With 20 years of experience as a certified teacher, I specialize in making Math and English accessible and engaging. I hold a graduate degree and prioritize building confidence over rote memorization. My approach involves actively observing how you learn best, whether through visual aids or hands-on practice, to tailor my lessons to your unique needs. When concepts become difficult, I break them down into manageable steps and connect them to your personal interests to maintain momentum. I believe clear communication with families is vital to fostering a supportive, collaborative environment. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student finally masters a challenging topic is the most rewarding part of my work. I look forward to helping you grow, succeed, and discover a genuine love for learning.
