“Michelle is an absolute gem. Daily homeroom with her has added tangible joy to my son’s day. Her classes are well structured, present children with the opportunity to use and build their social and presentation skills, and the ability to learn and discuss issues that are unique and significant to the profoundly gifted population. Michelle is a consummate professional, and her dedication to understanding and doing the best for each of her students is something we wish all educators would aspire to.” - Krishna Shah (DYS Parent) and Shyam Shah (DYS Scholar)

“My son has been very forthcoming about your lesson on intense emotions in the gifted population. It has generated numerous conversations and he has been able to correlate this to our family life. He also revisits psychological flow often. Thank you!” - Rachel, DYS Parent

“I love DYS Homeroom because it is a safe space where I feel I can talk about my feelings with friends. It’s so fun to be around other Davidson Young Scholars in a friendly environment! I enjoy all of Michele’s mini lessons. I love and cherish every moment with Michelle and my peers.” - Lauren, Age 11 (DYS Scholar)

“Our 11 year old daughter has both participated in Michelle’s Davidson Young Scholars (DYS) morning homerooms and enrolled in special 1:1 instruction with Michelle for three years. Michelle quickly formed a bond with our daughter. In just a matter of months I could see substantial benefits from the time they spent together. Michelle is a very thoughtful teacher who presents engaging and pertinent materials to her students, while her patience and encouragement towards each student is unparalleled. She creates a safe space for children to be themselves while also working with them to build life skills to overcome challenges. My daughter has made some great connections and looks forward to seeing her friends every morning. On top of all that, Michelle is always responsive to my communications and always willing to share her wealth of knowledge or provide additional help. We look forward to continuing to learn with Michelle!” – Megan, DYS Parent
