Educator. Tutor.
Teacher of tiny humans.
Hi there—I’m Audrey, and I’m so excited to work with you and your Little Learner! I’ve been immersed in early childhood education for the past eight years and I’m currently in my fifth year as a kindergarten teacher. As an elementary teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is for kiddos to fall behind and how hard it can be for them to catch up without the right support.
That’s why I started Little Learners Tutoring—to inspire a love of learning through one-on-one teaching, personalized lessons, and fun activities!
I want your child to excel in school, feel confident in their abilities, and have fun doing so. Your kiddo’s academic journey should be challenging but it shouldn’t be stressful. Oftentimes, it’s not the learning material that challenges kids, but how the material is taught. All students have what it takes to excel academically. It’s just a matter of teaching them in a way they understand. When your child works with me, I’ll figure out what their unique learning style is and design lessons that fit their learning needs. Best of all, I’ll make learning fun!
“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”

How it started…
If you ask an elementary teacher when they knew they wanted to be a teacher, chances are, they’ll tell you they knew in early elementary school (when they were your child’s age!). And honestly, my answer is the same! I fell in love with teaching when I was in kindergarten—I would read to my “class” of stuffed animals, make practice worksheets for my imaginary “students”, and “teach” lessons to my (not always willing) little sister. By the time I was in high school, I knew I wanted to teach and knew I wanted to teach elementary kiddos!
I went to college to pursue a degree in education and graduated from the University of Portland with a bachelors in Elementary Education, a minor in Spanish, and a Reading Endorsement certification. It was there that I taught abroad teaching littles in Quito, Ecuador, and fell in love with teaching kindergarten. I’ve since taught elementary students for the past several years and I currently teach kindergarten alongside tutoring!
One of my favorite things about teaching is watching the “aha” moment kids have when they understand content for the first time—that split second when suddenly everything clicks. I love watching their faces light up and it’s amazing to see how proud they are of themselves when they finally understand a challenging concept. Early elementary is such an exciting time in your child’s life and I’m so excited to start this journey with your kiddo. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out, and if you’ve already signed up for a consultation, woohoo! I can’t wait to meet you and your little learner!
