She is a mother who happens to be a certified teacher (general educations and special education) and administrator with 20 years of classroom instructional and supervisory experience. Noelle has experience working with children from pre-k - the collegiate level, and has worked closely with children in public, private, and specialized school settings. She has worked in New York City and Westchester County, where she has implemented personalized instruction in order for her students to reach their maximum potential. She is passionate about focusing on the whole child, and truly understands that every child is unique with strengths to share with the world. Her approach to academic. coaching goes beyond the classroom. She focuses on skillsets that will stay with her clients through college and beyond. In being a mother, she understands the demands of all things life, for both you and your child. Deadlines, activities, meetings, obligations, sports, and a bustling social calendar, can make it difficult to prioritize the time we have. Her custom designed program was created with your family at the center, so that you can get back to spending time together and enjoy the moments that matter.
