I’m Marita.

Nice to meet you!

I love students and I love teaching!

I love students. Every student is different, and that’s why I love teaching one-on-one. My goal is always to serve the student in front of me and meet them where they are. Young people are bright, open-minded, easily excited, and a blessing to the world, and that makes teaching them a joy.

I love teaching. Each student has their own strengths and struggles, and finding what works for each person is like going on an adventure with them. The reward at the end is watching them take ownership of their learning and apply what they’ve learned to every aspect of their life.
