From day one, she has shown nothing but kindness, patience, and grace—even when faced with the full force of Kennedy’s sass and strong personality! She doesn’t just teach academics—she nurtures confidence, encourages curiosity, and listens with empathy. Because of her steady encouragement and thoughtful teaching, Kennedy has grown not just in her academic skills but also in her self-confidence and love of learning. Her classroom is a place where kids feel safe, seen, and valued. The kind of impact she makes is rare, and I’m so grateful that Kennedy gets to learn and grow with a teacher who brings so much heart to her work every single day." -Parent
