The Nature School started as an environmental education blog developed to help parents and children learn ways that they can connect to their local environment. As I have continued to develop my interests and experience it is growing into a place where myself and others can explore how connection with nature can help support and heal our mental health.
The Tutoring Company was a private one on one tutoring company. It was owner operated. I specialized in tutoring Science and Math. The Tutoring Company was closed when I entered the mental health field full time. The Tutoring Company also offers academic coaching to clients to help them improve their skills at independent learning and at mastering fears of difficult subjects. Many people have come to believe that they are "no good" at a subject and can't learn. This is not true and I help people learn how to learn anything they choose.
