About Stefanie

Empowering students to reach their full potential is the core of my teaching practice. With over 25 years of experience as a Certified teacher, I specialize in Math, English, and Science for elementary and middle school students. As a mom to two boys with autism, I've developed many skills that focus on building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning rather than simple memorization. By observing how you interact with new material, I adapt my strategies--using visual aids, hands-on activities, or discussions--to suit your unique style. I break down complex problems into manageable steps and connect concepts to your personal interests to keep you motivated. Because I prioritize clear communication, I work closely with you and your family to ensure we meet your goals together. Seeing that "aha!" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks is the most rewarding part of my work. I look forward to helping you grow and succeed on your own unique learning journey.
