About me, Mandy
I am a master's level educator who graduated with a B.S in Child and Adolescent Development from the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and a Master of Education degree from DePaul University in Chicago.
The pandemic has been such an uncertain time, but I knew that with my extensive teaching experience and my passion for working with children, I could develop a program that would help both families and students. This is how Mandy’s Confident Kids was born!
Before the COVID-19 pandemic I was working as a Pre-K teacher in a classroom. Due to health concerns and my son’s school situation, I chose to leave the live classroom setting to see if I could create an opportunity for myself at home.
I can work with children ages 3-9 years old, individually, in a small group, on-line, or in person.
For ages 3-5 (Pre-Kindergarten) my program can be seen as a “class” where Kindergarten Readiness is the focus. With Kindergarteners, 1st graders, 2nd graders, and 3rd graders my program can be seen as “tutoring” sessions where the area of focus is based upon your child’s areas of challenge.
Either way, the main goal of my program is to help build your child’s self-confidence since a strong sense of confidence leads to success.
As an educator with 20 years of teaching experience, I am here to help your child achieve their educational objectives, whether that goal is to be prepared for kindergarten, be ready to read, or work at grade level regarding any subject where they may be falling behind.
What People Are Saying
“Ms. Mandy’s zoom class has kept my daughter ‘school’ engaged through a very trying time. Her energy and love for the students shines through the screen, as if they were in a physical class. I have been amazed at all the work she puts into the ‘kit.’ I appreciate the sticker chart and prizes. I have watched my daughter become more focused during class, and she is eager to do the work.”

“Ms. Mandy’s pre-k experience was exactly what my son needed to get him ready for kindergarten during an exceedingly difficult year. He had fun, learned so much, and is so prepared for the year ahead. Mandy’s kindness and enthusiasm made this experience of virtual learning an adventure we were grateful to take alongside her as a true learning partner, and a sound resource in the area of early education.”
