Teaching Philosophy
At the heart of my philosophy of education is the belief that teaching is a relational and ethical practice grounded in care. I see education as a deeply human endeavor, where meaningful learning begins with relationships built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. As a teacher, I prioritize creating spaces where every student feels safe, valued, and supported. This ethic of care informs every decision I make while teaching. I believe that all students are capable of learning, and it is my responsibility to provide inclusive, equitable opportunities that recognize and respond to their diverse identities, strengths, and needs.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
