Tutoring starts with relationships.

Before any instruction begins, your learner needs to feel safe — safe enough to try, safe enough to fail, safe enough to discover that their brain isn't broken. It just works differently.

I work with the whole learner — mind, emotion, and body — because a learner who can't regulate can't learn, and a strategy that ignores the whole person only goes so far.

"Suzy equipped him with essential executive function skills; his challenges became manageable because he knew he had a toolbox of strategies that Ms. Suzy had taught him.

Her ability to empower students with practical skills while building their confidence is a testament to her exceptional teaching.”

— Brandie Y.

"Your positive, grounded personality came through beautifully... You stopped to look at your students and sounded words of encouragement, which made people feel seen. With each pose, you built up the alignment and provided/modeled modifications. Use of inhale and exhale as transition — fantastic!"

— Susan Bolich, B4C RYT-500 / Postgraduate Student, Master of Ed in SEL, Mindfulness and Yoga
