Welcome!

Hello Friends,

It’s Teacher Dee! Welcome to the fun and interesting world of Tot Tutoring! I have a confession to make...

I’ve been an educator of adults and young adults over the last decade (teaching language and communication) and later discovered the interesting world of toddler tutoring when I had tots of my own. As a mother of littles, I’ve enjoyed teaching my little ones and seeing how fast they learn and how much new information they can absorb.

It’s a beautiful thing to experience learning through the eyes of a child. If you feel the same way; then you are in the right place. So glad you’re here!
