Hi! I'm Carolyn.
I offer one-on-one academic support for kids grades K-6 & creative coaching for people of all ages. My mission is to support each student's unique learning style. I establish learning environments that are playful yet focused & creative yet concrete. When not teaching, I love to hike near giant trees, write, & dance!
