Hi there! My name is Mr. P, a licensed teacher in Massachusetts with a Masters in Education from Lesley University. I started this company to offer high quality teachers to students and families looking to reach their academic goals.

In 2019, I finished my last year of teaching in the public school setting before embarking on a year long motorcycle journey! I spent my childhood traveling to Greece each summer to see family. Needless to say, I was bit pretty hard by the travel bug. You can check out my adventures under the Travel Blog section.

Hi! My name is Ms. Athena and I am so excited to begin this tutoring journey with a Traveling Teacher! I too am a teacher who loves traveling; I've explored many places like Greece, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, France, Cape Verde, and the Dominican Republic. These travels have allowed me to practice many languages that I love to speak: Greek, Spanish, and Portuguese. Besides traveling, I adore being home with my two sons, Thomas and Mateos, baking, reading, and playing together.

I have a Masters in Education from Bridgewater State University and am a licensed Elementary Education and ESL teacher, with an endorsement in SEI. I have been teaching in Boston Public Schools for eight years, as a General Education, SEI, and SLIFE teacher with experience in grades three through eight. Previously, I spent time in Brockton Public Schools substitute teaching in a Spanish bilingual program and many various classrooms from Pre-K through eighth grade. My favorite subject to teach is Math and I also enjoy teaching ESL, helping students new to our country get acclimated to our culture and language. There is always so much to learn together!

My name is Robby Lawrence and I have been teaching elementary school for 7 years. I graduated from Bridgewater State University and American International College with my Master's Degree.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my dog Tray, being outside, and watching the Celtics. A fun fact about me is that I have been to Africa! I am looking forward to working with our students and celebrating their successes!

Hi! I am Joseph Summa. I have spent 16 years as an educator. I specialize in Math, Science, Editing, and ACT preparation. I graduated from the top undergraduate engineering school, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, with a degree in Engineering Physics with a concentration in Nanotechnology. I have always loved science and its applications to all facets of life. My chemistry skills are so good that a good friend and professional chef always introduces me as the one person who can engineer my way to better chocolate chip cookies than him. I have always loved playing games in all forms: puzzles, video games, and lately a lot of modern board games. I am even the two-time reigning world champion for Ascension, a modern deckbuilding game.

My personal philosophy is to help students not just to find the right answers but help to develop problem solving skills and the ability to use their resources effectively. This approach to tutoring does more than just prepare a student to take and pass a test, it prepares them to be successful wherever life takes them.

Hello! My name is Maria Angelica Forero and I am excited to be part of the Traveling Teacher team! I have been an educator for 20+ years. I began my journey as a Montessori teacher for little ones and fell in love with teaching. Therefore, I got my masters in Montessori Elementary education. My bachelor’s degree is in Biology, so when I moved up to teaching middle school and high school, it was a natural progression to teach biology, honors bio, AP biology and Cambridge biology. I did that for about 9 years and now I focus on parent education.

I love to read about philosophy and psychology, but my favorite hobby is traveling. Just this past year, my husband and I traveled to South East Asia and got to see and do beautiful things in Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand!

Hello, hello, hello! My name is Mikaela and I am thrilled to be a part of A Traveling Teacher. I attended the University of Connecticut and graduated with my Bachelor’s in English and a minor in American Sign Language in 2016. While traditional school settings were not the right fit for me, I am passionate about teaching and was a dance instructor for many years at my local YMCA, and tutored high school students in preparation for the SATs.

Currently, I work as a full time estimator for an electrical sub-contractor, but I have not lost my love for learning and relish the opportunity to share that with my students. While I have lived in Texas and New York, and have traveled to places like Ireland, France, and Mexico, my favorite place in the world to visit is Springfield, MA, to see my family. When class is not in session, I love riding horses with Stage Hill Polo Club in Newburyport, MA, and playing French horn in the Cape Cod Concert Band.

Hi! My name is Max Kinney. I’m fired up to become a part of the team here at A Traveling Teacher! I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering. In my time there, I assisted in teaching multiple engineering courses and was also active outside of the classroom as Captain of the Club Lacrosse Team. I teach Spanish and Physics at the high school level and am a volunteer lacrosse coach. I am passionate about math and science because they help us make sense of our world and push the boundaries of what’s possible. As the sign that Ted Lasso hangs in the locker room reads, “BELIEVE.”

When I’m free, I love spending time with family and friends, especially in the Great Outdoors. You’re most likely to catch me riding my bike or skiing on the slopes. I also love to travel and recently returned from an extended trip through Mexico. “De viajar abre su mente” (traveling opens your mind). I look forward to connecting with our students, inspiring them to find their own passions and how to use them for good in the world.

My motto - “Whether we think we can, or we think we can’t, we’re right!”

Hi! My name is Ms. Maria and I am so excited to join A Traveling Teacher! I have been a part of Special Education for the last 8 years, with the last 3 years being in Boston Public Schools as a teacher for the ABA program. I received my Bachelors Degree of Psychology and Elementary Education at Hellenic College in 2016, and am currently working on my Masters of Education Degree (concentration in BCBA) at Arizona State University.

I have worked with students on 504’s and IEP’s, attending meetings for students, and have completed educational assessments for students in Special Education programs. Aside from teaching in the classroom, I teach traditional folk Greek dancing in Brookline, MA. I have been a Greek dance teacher for over 10 years and I am so proud to have background knowledge of my Greek heritage that I can share with students and adults of all ages! I also love traveling to Greece every summer.

I recently became a mom to a beautiful little boy who I look forward to teaching all the wonderful lessons of life. Can’t wait to work with A Traveling Teacher student for any ELA ,History, or ABA needs!

Hi! My name is Julia O’Brien, and I am grateful to be a part of  A Traveling Teacher. I hold a Master’s Degree in Education from Lesley University. I have been teaching fifth grade for the last 20 years and appreciate the opportunity to prepare students for the next leg of their journey to middle school!

I am pursuing another master’s in Student Adjustment Counseling, intending to transition into that role in 2026. I began my career in education teaching special education in Saipan, located in the Marianas Islands.

My other travels include Italy, Africa, and, most recently, Scotland. When I am not teaching or traveling, I enjoy hiking with friends, walking with my dogs, Gemma and Gracie, and spending time with family.

Hey there! My name is Brianne Pizzigoni but my students usually call me Miss Pizzi. I graduated from Bloomsburg University with a degree in Middle School Math Education. Since then, I have made it my goal and mission as an educator to help students grow into the confident learners I know they can be!

Math can be very difficult for students especially when they approach middle school and so I make it my job to help those students as much as possible. In May of this year, I graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a master's degree in Educational Technology.

Throughout my education, I have learned many ways to teach and engage students through a screen. I am so excited to get started with A Traveling Teacher! Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending my free time with family and friends. I recently moved closer to home and I have loved traveling with my dog to visit them whenever possible.

My favorite hobbies include: reading a book at the beach/lake, filling my house with plants, or taking my dog hiking! I look forward to supporting each of you on your journey to become a more confident and successful math student!

Hello, my name is Nour and I'm very excited to start working with A Traveling Teacher. I graduated top of my class from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a Bachelors of Science in Computer Science.

I've worked for multiple software companies, and currently work for Dell Technologies as a software engineer, so I have a lot of knowledge about industry standards and good programming practices as well. I also have plenty of experience tutoring and teaching both Computer Science concepts and Mathematics to students with a variety of ages and educational backgrounds.

My teaching style places a big emphasis on hands-on learning, so I always have my students build fun interactive projects that allow them to apply the concepts they learn. This way they can see the result of their hard work in a tangible way. Outside of work, I really enjoy staying active through playing Tennis, Volleyball, and Spikeball. I can't wait to start working with you!

Hi! My name is Beth Daley. I have been working as a Special Education teacher in the public school setting for the last 6 years. I have taught and supported students in all subject areas at the Middle School level. My favorite subject to teach is English.

I love teaching students how to strengthen their reading and writing skills and take pride in their work. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English and Secondary Education from Bridgewater State University and a Master’s Degree in Special Education (Moderate Disabilities). I am licensed to teach English and Special Education to students in grades 5-12. I am always adjusting my teaching practice to best fit the needs of each individual student I work with.

I truly believe the most important part of teaching is developing meaningful relationships with students. I love helping each one of my students build confidence academically, socially, and emotionally so they can reach their full potential as they navigate through life. Aside from teaching, I live in Massachusetts with my husband.

Our daughter was recently born and she has changed our world. We love being parents and watching her grow into a sweet little girl with a big personality. We also have a German Shepherd who is sweet, cuddly, and energetic. I look forward to working with students and families here at A Traveling Teacher!

Hello friends! My name is Kelly Burke and I am SO excited to be part of the team at A Traveling Teacher! I am currently a middle school special education teacher in Attleboro, MA and have been teaching there for 5 years. I have experience with elementary & middle school in all academic areas and have tutored students for over 4 years. I received my undergraduate degrees in 2010 from Salve Regina University in Newport, RI in Spanish Language and Philosophy. I went back to school in 2019 and received my Masters in Special Education, Moderate Disabilities and SEI endorsement from Lasell University in Newton, MA. I am also trained in Orton-Gillingham and fell in love with helping students become excited about reading. My goal as a teacher is to encourage my students to love reading as much as I do!

My husband Tim & and I have lived in Norton, MA with our dog Eli for almost eight years! I am originally from Connecticut, but fell in love with the area and never left. Outside of school, I am usually spending time with my husband and Eli, or our five nieces and nephews. I really enjoy live music and try to go to as many concerts as I can! During the summer, you can find me at the beach or pool reading a great book!

I have been tutoring virtually for over five years and have helped students all over the country increase their grades and confidence in themselves. I have a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and a Master’s degree in Biochemistry and Medical Microbiology. I am also a classically trained clarinetist and have performed all over the country. While science is my largest passion, especially medical science, I adore math and use it in my daily life.

The biggest goal I have for every student is to improve their confidence and help them realize that they can do challenging things and that they ARE smart! Every student learns a little differently, especially those who have ADHD or dyslexia/dyscalculia. Having struggled to learn math in school, I know what it is like to feel behind or have anxiety around learning. It wasn’t until a college professor took the time to teach me calculus in a new way that I started to put all the pieces together from math classes in the past, and finally found a love for algebra. These experiences have taught me that there are multiple ways to teach concepts, and each student has different needs. I have experience working with a wide range of students and have learned how to manage my own dyscalculia, allowing me to teach math and science in a way that makes sense to students who are struggling.

When not tutoring, I run a farm animal sanctuary called Diego's Friends Farm Sanctuary in Central Massachusetts with my husband, mom, and daughter. I also enjoy spending time in nature, working outside, and playing video games when I have time.
