Tutoring That Fits a Busy Calabasas Schedule
Between sports, music lessons and homework, Calabasas kids have full afternoons. My goal is to make tutoring one of the calmer parts of the week: a focused hour, one-on-one, where your child works on exactly the skills they need.
I’m a short drive away in Agoura Hills, so in-home sessions across Calabasas are easy to schedule. For kids who find reading hard, I use structured, multisensory Orton-Gillingham methods that build skills step by step instead of asking them to guess.

Meeting Spots Around Calabasas
The Calabasas Library at 200 Civic Center Way is a city-run library inside the Calabasas Civic Center, right next to The Commons. It’s a bright, quiet place for a session and an easy stop on the way home from school.
I also come to homes throughout Calabasas, including Calabasas Park, The Oaks, Mulwood, Mountain View Estates and Westridge, as well as neighboring Hidden Hills.

Helping Calabasas Students Thrive in LVUSD
Calabasas students attend Las Virgenes Unified schools such as Bay Laurel, Chaparral and Lupin Hill Elementary, and Hidden Hills families are served by Round Meadow Elementary. I also work with private school students, including families from Viewpoint School.
Around 4th and 5th grade, reading shifts from learning to read to reading to learn. Getting solid decoding and comprehension skills in place now helps kids head into A.E. Wright or A.C. Stelle Middle School ready for heavier reading and writing.
