About Tricia

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is the cornerstone of my 10-year career as a certified teacher. I believe every child learns best when their unique needs are met with patience and personalized support. By actively listening and observing how you engage with new material, I adapt my methods--from visual aids to hands-on activities--to ensure concepts truly click. I specialize in Math, English, Science, Art, and Special Education, including expertise in IEPs and 504 plans. Whether we meet at your home, the library, or a local center, I focus on breaking down complex problems to build your confidence and curiosity. My goal is to foster critical thinking skills that serve you long after our session ends. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student masters a difficult skill remains the most rewarding part of my work, and I look forward to helping you succeed.
