ROCCHETTA A.

Hello! I’m Rocchetta, a retired Ontario Certified Elementary Teacher with over 25 years of experience in teaching and tutoring. Specializing in grades 1 to 6, I am passionate about fostering a love for reading and lifelong learning in my students. I believe that effective communication, both verbal and written, is key to student success.

Teamwork is at the heart of my approach; I work closely with parents and teachers to ensure the best outcomes for each child. When I’m not tutoring, I enjoy travelling, reading, and staying active with Zumba. I look forward to the opportunity to support your child’s educational journey.
