Through the Desha Academy and Bold Print Bookshop, I help children between 3 & 12 build confidence, strengthen Comprehension, and become independent learners through personalized support while guiding parents on how to build better systems at home.

At The Desha Academy and Bold Print Bookshop, we help children between ages 3 and 12 build confidence, strengthen Comprehension, and become more independent learners through personalized educational support.

We also guide parents in creating better learning systems at home so children can develop the habits, thinking skills, and understanding needed for long term success - not just memorization.

With over two decades of teaching experience, our approach focuses on helping children truly understand how they learn while developing literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic confidence in a supportive environment.
