Our very shy 8 year old son loves Ms. I, and so do we! He has requested to take her classes every semester of this past year. This is high praise from a boy who always hated school and never wanted to attend any classes...until we started homeschooling this year and found a few amazing teachers like Ms. I. So far, he has taken her Public Speaking, Kidz Entrepreneur, and Kidz Entrepreneur 2 class. The have all inspired him and built his confidence. Before taking her Public Speaking class, no one could hear our son when he spoke in class. His voice was barely audible and he struggled to make eye contact. Half way through the class, he transformed into a new kid. I couldn't believe it. Standing straight, projecting his voice, making eye contact, and even choosing to memorize his speeches and poems. Amazing! Teacher I's Kidz Entrepreneur classes were equally impressive, piquing our son's interest in entrepreneurship, giving back to the community, and finding environmentally responsible ways to do it. He now loves watching Shark Tank (with elevator pitches like the ones students give in the classes) and The Profit With his dad. He takes a keen interest in any news story about kids who start successful, impactful businesses. And during this past semester, he decided to create his own website for his class business idea. Very impressive! He never would've done any of this without Ms. I and her great classes. She is always upbeat, kind, creative, and inspiring. She provides the perfect mix of fun, structure, and meaningful homework (in contrast to the busy work many of my friends are complaining their kids are overwhelmed by in their public school distance learning).

Michaela was supportive, kind, and helpful during my college application process. She worked with me to develop my own ideas, providing specific guidance with editing my writing, and more broad assistance with structuring and developing my thoughts. She helped me strengthen my own writing while ensuring that my voice remained at the forefront. She cares deeply about her students and is incredibly knowledgeable about the college application and essay writing process. I would definitely recommend her and her services!

Emily taught my son SAT prep and tutored him for English class (he’s in grade 11).
She was so helpful and got my son from a C+ student to A- eventually!!
She is very knowledgeable, patient and kind.
Was able to connect with my son right from the start.
Would greatly recommend her as an expert tutor in English!
