Chaka is an extraordinary teacher. She puts her heart and soul into making sure each student is thriving. Chaka has assisted me with my children and she takes time, attention to detail and engages each one on a level that they can learn based on their individual learning style. I have been blessed to have Chaka’s expertise to help set my children’s foundation for success. - I.A.
I'd like to speak directly to Chaka the person more than Chaka the teacher. Chaka the person has an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life, no matter your circumstance there is no judgement, and there is no stopping until the job is done. Chaka the person is who you'd want as an educator because she simply will help you become a better you.
Chaka has a very patient and nurturing nature especially when it comes to teaching. She has experience with being the COO and instructor within a non profit organization focused on student and community growth and development. Chaka also possesses some impressive organizational skills which is paramount when breaking down and relaying unknown or misinterpreted information to a growing mind. What’s more, her critical thinking would allow students to look at the problem in more than one way to come to the needed solution.
