Teaching is more than a profession to me. It is a calling that I have embraced with purpose and joy throughout my years as an educator. I have had the privilege of working with students across elementary grade levels as well as high school, supporting their learning in Mathematics, Reading, and Language Arts (ELA). I am very knowledgeable in the Mathematics Standards and cover those skills on a daily basis. The ELA Standards are also an integral part of my daily lessons. In addition, I work with elementary students in Social Studies and Science when they need support or review in those areas. These experiences have allowed me to understand the diverse needs of learners and adapt instruction to meet them where they are.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy is a deep passion for building students’ confidence and helping them develop an awareness of their own capabilities. When students believe in themselves, they are better able to realize their full potential and work toward it with confidence. I incorporate a variety of instructional strategies and models that promote clarity, engagement, and academic success. Instruction is personalized to ensure students master skills at their grade level, as well as above or below grade level when necessary.
Currently, I work remotely with students throughout the United States, supporting their learning through flexible and accessible instruction. Students can also work with me on any online academic platform they use in school by logging in together to review skills and reinforce learning. It truly brings me joy to see their academic growth, improved grades, and their renewed readiness to continue excelling. Working with students is both my passion and my joy, and I am deeply committed to helping each learner succeed.

My son has always struggled with math and never really enjoyed it, but working with Violet has been such a game-changer. She is incredibly patient and knows exactly how to explain things in a way that makes sense to him. What I love most is how she creates a positive, encouraging environment that helps him feel more confident instead of frustrated. Her calm approach and ability to connect with kids who don’t naturally love math has made all the difference. We’re so grateful for her!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Hourly rate $60
A discount of $5 is applicable if there are multiple children or multiple hours
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My personal introduction and experience is reviewed. I allow the parent to introduce himself/herself and the student. I asked the parent to give an overview of the student grade level and the student's
progress. I am interested in knowing the parent's expectations and his/her goals for the student. What does the parent expect to be accomplished during each session? I give an assessment on the student's grade level. This gives me an idea of the areas I need to reinforce
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Elementary Education with a concentration in Mathematics and MA in Education. I have numerous hours of training by the school district where I am employed .
