About me
One maxim I have always believed in was the one attributed to Mahatma Gandhi. He said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." I am passionate about helping students become confident, capable, and empowered in their learning. With nearly eight years of experience as an ESL instructor and additional background in childcare, I’ve supported students of all personalities, learning styles, and challenges. These experiences have taught me how to motivate gently, listen deeply, and celebrate small steps that lead to meaningful growth. My coaching style is rooted in patience, empathy, and genuine encouragement. I understand the strengths and challenges that come with neurodiverse minds, and I value helping students develop the tools they need to manage overwhelm, stay organized, and feel in control of their academic journey. Growth doesn’t have to feel heavy. I’m here to make it supportive, steady, and empowering. Like many of my students, I’ve experienced moments of feeling lost or overwhelmed and I’ve also experienced what happens when someone believes in you. As your coach, I’ll be that person in your corner. When requested, I love weaving mindfulness, breath work, and grounding techniques into sessions, helping students build emotional awareness alongside executive functioning skills. Outside of coaching, I enjoy reading, writing, traveling, and spending time in nature.
