With over 30 years of experience in education—15 years in Connecticut’s public school system and the past 15 years in elite independent schools in Florida—I’ve had the privilege of teaching students from preschool through college. I’ve seen firsthand how transformative the right kind of support can be, no matter the age or stage.
At WayPath, we specialize in more than just school work. We help students navigate obstacles with confidence, develop metacognitive strategies to understand how they learn best, and become independent, capable thinkers. My philosophy is rooted in the belief that targeted, intentional instruction—combined with genuine encouragement and trust—can unlock a student’s full potential.
Whether your child is overcoming a learning difference, striving to reach the next level, or rediscovering their confidence, we meet them where they are, and walk alongside them toward where they want to be.
This is not cookie-cutter tutoring. It’s personalized, evidence-based, and deeply invested in long-term growth. I’d be honored to partner with your family on this journey.
