"To teach is to learn twice."
Michelle Tschannen
Michelle is a parent and educator with 10 years of teaching and tutoring
experience. She has a Masters in Special Education from the University
of Virginia and previously taught for four years in the DC region at
Oakwood School, a leading private school for students with mild-
moderate learning disabilities. She has Orton-Gillingham and multi-sensory math instruction training.
Michelle has always been an avid reader and has a passion for raising readers.
Some of her favorite books include: The Giver, Goodnight Already!, and
Charlotte’s Web.
Sharing the love of the written word with children is one of her greatest loves in life. When she doesn’t have her nose deep in a good book, you can find her traveling, hiking or swimming with her five-year old son and her husband. She has lived in Silicon Valley for three
years and particularly loves the local farmer’s market and tide-pooling
in Half Moon Bay.
