Meet Our Founder
Hi there! I’m Tommi, the founder of PivotED, where we believe learning can take exciting new directions. My adventure in education began 18 years ago, almost by accident, and it has been a wonderful journey ever since. I've developed a true love for teaching, shaped by my experiences in both public and private schools. At PivotED, we embrace the idea that each child is unique, and it just doesn’t make sense to expect the same results from every student in a standardized system. Let's celebrate the unique abilities of each child!
I feel that children of all ages benefit from more hands-on experiences that actively engage them in the learning process. PivotED is my effort to provide an educational experience that goes beyond the limitations of our local schools. With a determination to create a supportive environment for children, I embarked on the exciting journey of starting a more individualized microschool. I am filled with passion and inspired to collaborate with families in our community!
