Coaching Philosophy:
“If you are always learning you are always growing and life is never boring and always worth living.”
Tori believes that learning is one of the greatest joys in life. She believes that framing lessons to a
student’s unique learning style helps the student to connect and retain information. She loves to help
students create a unique plan to reach their goals and impress themselves with their abilities and find
success. Tori wants kids to feel encouraged to love learning and to geek out on their favorite subjects.
She aims to help students see a new approach to the world by being inquisitive, analytical, and
engaged in learning and life.
