Meet Suzin

Our Art Guide

Hi! I'm Suzin. I'm a momma, a grandma, and a nurturing, creative soul who's been making art since I could hold a crayon. Creativity has always been my happy place. Whether it's crafting, painting, or dreaming up something new, I find joy in the process and in bringing a little magic to everyday moments.

I've never met a project I didn't want to try, and I believe there's a spark of creativity in everyone. Life is one big canvas—and I'm still exploring all the colors.

Meet Jaya

Our Academics Tutor

At the age of twelve, Jaya discovered her passion for teaching. She pursued that calling through college and went on to earn a Master's Degree in Education.

Jaya spent 19 years in the classroom, primarily teaching first graders. She then co-founded and directed a small private school for seven years. For the next decade, she worked for the Ventura school system with their homeschooling program, helping parents teach their children at home and gained a deep familiarity with curriculum from preschool through eighth grade.

Her passion for teaching has also led her to tutor many children individually over the years. Jaya feels very fortunate to have built a career she truly loves.
