What Is Roots Learning & Development?

Roots Learning & Development provides high-quality academic tutoring, behavior support, and emotional coaching designed to support the whole child. Children thrive when their academic, emotional, and behavioral needs are addressed together — not in isolation.

At Roots, I blend educational expertise, behavioral science, and child development research to help children grow with confidence, consistency, and independence.
My work goes far beyond basic homework help. I partner with families to build lifelong learning habits, routines, emotional regulation skills, and academic resilience.

What Makes Roots Different

A Certified Teacher, Not a Student Tutor

With TK–8 teaching credentials and years of experience supporting students with disabilities, behavioral challenges, and diverse learning needs, I bring expert-level instruction — not surface-level tutoring.

Behavior-Informed & Evidence-Based

My approach integrates behavior-support strategies, emotional regulation tools, and routines that help children stay focused, calm, and confident.

Whole-Child Focused Support

Academic growth is strongest when paired with emotional resilience and consistent routines. Roots addresses all three.

Family Collaboration Included

You’ll receive ongoing communication, resources, and support to help maintain structure at home and reinforce what your child learns.

Why the Whole-Child Approach Works

Children do best when they feel confident, regulated, and supported.
That’s why Roots focuses on:

🌿 Confidence

🌿 Skill-building

🌿 Emotional resilience

🌿 Healthy routines

🌿 Strong habits that last

🌿 Independence in school and at home

This approach builds skills that extend far beyond academics — it strengthens your child’s long-term growth, self-esteem, and stability.
