Tawny's Tutoring & Homework Helper
Hi, I'm Tawny. My background includes teaching, academic coaching, and caregiving, with years of experience supporting students in both traditional and home-based learning environments. I’ve worked with a wide range of learners, including neurodivergent students, and I also bring personal experience supporting a child with special needs. I believe learning works best when kids feel safe, understood, and supported. Before anything else, I focus on building a connection. If a child doesn’t feel comfortable, they’re not going to learn, and that relationship always comes first. I take a calm, supportive approach rather than focusing on heavy lessons, constant assessments, or pressure. Instead, I meet each child where they are and help learning feel manageable, encouraging, and even enjoyable. I work with children of all learning styles and abilities, including neurodivergent learners, and take the time to understand how each child thinks and learns best. My goal is to support not just the student, but the whole family—helping create a more positive, less stressful learning experience. At the end of the day, success isn’t just about grades; it’s about confidence. It’s about a child feeling like, “I can do this.” -Former Teacher & Academic Coach -Certified Caregiver -CPR Certified -Arizona Fingerprint Clearance Card

Forsaken Cowboy Tutoring
I'm a software developer with 7 years of experience. I have been an instructor in computer programming at both STEAM Studios AZ and iCode. I've taught robotics and drones, web development, game development, Scratch/Blockly, and 3D Modeling. I can help students learn how to use cloud and AI tools, if that's wanted. I also have the ability to teach enterprise level development using many different types of technologies: cloud services, containerization, container orchestration, software pipeline development, Git or subversion, microservices, databases, logs, and testing. I'm also skilled in cyber security. I worked for a short period of time as a Security Operations Center Analyst, triaging tickets and diagnosing potential threats. I've held a cyber security certification for 8 years. I would be happy to train your child in blue teaming. I individualize my learning plans to suit the needs of the student. Younger children will likely start with Scratch or Blockly, and robotics, so they can see the way programming affects the world around them. Older students will focus on more abstract topics, using what they learn to create websites and other programs. I have access to various hosting services that can help us host a website for free. The most exciting part of teaching is seeing when a struggling student catches on to a topic and excels. As a Christian, I ensure a family friendly environment for my students and can teach them at your home or in a public location in Metro Phoenix. We can discuss availability, but I'm most likely free in the mornings and all day on Saturdays.

Our family-centered approach respects each family’s Christian faith, values, educational philosophy, and role as the child’s primary teacher. A typical week may include an individualized therapy session, practical activities connected to the child’s homeschool routine, and caregiver coaching that helps families carry new skills into daily life. Rather than separating therapy from education, our clinicians look for meaningful ways to support participation in lessons, reading, writing, family routines, church activities, community experiences, and peer relationships. Recommendations are tailored to each child’s abilities, goals, interests, learning style, and homeschool curriculum whenever possible. We serve families seeking a more personal and collaborative alternative to traditional school-based services, including children with developmental delays, disabilities, neurodivergent learning profiles, or specific speech, language, motor, sensory, and feeding needs.

Our role is not to replace that relationship, but to strengthen it by providing evidence-based care, understandable recommendations, and strategies that are realistic for home and community life.

Charchelly’s Culinary Academy
Charchelly’s Culinary Academy At Charchelly’s Culinary Academy, we believe the kitchen is where confidence, creativity, and life skills are built. Our mission is to reconnect children, teens, and families with the heart of the home by teaching real cooking—not just recipes, but the knowledge and techniques that create capable, confident home cooks for life. In a world filled with convenience foods and fast-paced schedules, we are committed to preserving the art of scratch cooking while making learning fun, engaging, and accessible for every student. Founded by Chef Charles, a culinary professional with over 20 years of industry experience, and Chef Michelle, a passionate recipe developer and educator, our academy blends professional culinary training with a warm, family-centered environment. Together, we teach students that cooking is more than preparing a meal—it’s a lifelong skill that builds independence, teamwork, problem-solving, math, science, cultural appreciation, and self-confidence. Our programs serve children, teens, homeschool families, and adults throughout Arizona. We offer weekly culinary classes, homeschool enrichment, birthday parties, private lessons, family cooking experiences, seasonal camps, workshops, and community events. Classes are intentionally kept small so every student receives individualized instruction, hands-on practice, and meaningful mentorship. A typical class begins with kitchen safety, sanitation, and an introduction to the day’s culinary skill. Students then practice professional techniques such as knife skills, measuring, food preparation, seasoning, cooking methods, baking fundamentals, and plating. Every student prepares food from scratch using fresh ingredients while learning the “why” behind each technique. Classes conclude with tasting, reflection, cleanup, and recipe discussions so students leave with both knowledge and confidence they can immediately use at home. Our curriculum goes far beyond simply following recipes. Students develop real-world culinary skills including: * Knife safety and proper cutting techniques * Kitchen organization and food safety * Baking and pastry fundamentals * International and cultural cuisine * Scratch cooking and meal preparation * Sauce making and seasoning * Budget-friendly meal planning * Nutrition and healthy cooking habits * Teamwork, communication, and leadership * Creativity and recipe development What truly makes Charchelly’s Culinary Academy different is our focus on building life skills through culinary education. Every lesson is designed to help students become more independent, confident, and capable both inside and outside the kitchen. We create an encouraging environment where mistakes become learning opportunities, curiosity is celebrated, and every student is empowered to succeed regardless of previous cooking experience. Whether a child dreams of becoming a chef, wants to help prepare family meals, needs practical life skills before adulthood, or simply enjoys creating something delicious, our academy provides a welcoming space where every student can grow. We aren’t just teaching people how to cook—we’re helping build confidence, strengthen families, preserve culinary traditions, and inspire the next generation to create meaningful memories around the table.
Wild Wonders
Wild Wonders is a parent-child outdoor enrichment program based in the West Valley. Our program is entirely hands on and child led, built around a strong early childhood development focus. Wild Wonders runs in Fall, Winter, and Spring seasons, each an 8-week session, giving families a full year of rotating themes and outdoor rhythm as their child grows. Every week brings a new theme, following a predictable class flow through story time, dancing, hands-on exploration, and creative play. Held entirely outdoors, each 60-minute, play-based class is designed for little hands to touch, explore, and discover at their own pace. Families come to class knowing they'll get dedicated one on one time with their child, genuine community with other local families, and a program that feels personal and unfranchised. We're founder led with a small, dedicated teaching team, so curriculum reflects real intentionality around early childhood development rather than generic programming. The result is a program where families treat it as a weekly outdoor ritual, not just an activity to check off.
Connecting Families MHS, PLLC
The Studio is a creative, community-centered space where families can create, connect, and belong. Our mission is to reduce loneliness, strengthen relationships, and support emotional well-being through creativity, meaningful connection, and shared experiences. We believe that art and creativity are not simply extracurricular activities—they are powerful tools for self-expression, confidence, emotional regulation, brain health, and connection with others. Our goal is to create a place where people of all ages can discover their strengths, develop new skills, build friendships, and feel genuinely known and welcomed. A typical week at The Studio brings together children, teens, young adults, parents, and adults through a variety of creative and enrichment experiences. Classes may include drawing, painting, expressive and mixed-media art, sewing, crochet, computer graphics, LEGO workshops, emotional intelligence, and specialized programs designed to support neurodivergent individuals. We also offer opportunities for families and community members to participate in workshops, gatherings, social events, and other experiences that encourage connection beyond the classroom. Our programming continues to grow based on the needs and interests of the families we serve, with an emphasis on creating experiences that are both enjoyable and meaningful. We serve families who are looking for more than a traditional activity or class. Some are looking for a creative outlet; others are seeking opportunities for their children to build confidence, practice social and emotional skills, or find a community where they feel accepted. We welcome families with diverse interests, abilities, learning styles, and backgrounds, including neurodivergent children and adults. Because The Studio is connected to Connecting Families Mental Health Services, we are uniquely positioned to bring together creativity, mental health, family support, and community in a way that is rarely found in one place. What makes The Studio distinct is our belief that the experience matters just as much as the finished product. We are intentionally building a community ecosystem where art, education, mental health, and relationships can work together. A child might come to learn to paint and leave with a new coping skill. A teenager might discover a creative talent while finding a place where they feel understood. A parent might find not only an activity for their family, but also a community of people who understand their journey. We want every person who walks through our doors to experience the same three things: create. connect. belong.

Automotive Learning Lab
Automotive Learning Lab provides hands-on automotive education designed to give students and families practical skills, confidence, and a better understanding of the vehicles they rely on every day. Our mission is to make automotive education approachable and accessible while teaching skills that encourage responsibility, independence, problem-solving, and good stewardship. Whether a student is interested in a future automotive career or simply wants to know how to safely care for a vehicle, we believe these are valuable skills that can serve them for a lifetime. Our classes are built around hands-on learning rather than lectures. Participants work with real vehicles, automotive components, tools, and training equipment while learning topics such as engine fundamentals, vehicle electrical systems, brakes, cooling systems, oil changes, roadside safety, under-car inspections, and general vehicle maintenance. A typical week may include private one-on-one lessons, small-group instruction, homeschool programs, or workshops hosted in partnership with schools and community organizations. We serve homeschool and ESA families, teens exploring skilled trades and automotive careers, adults wanting to become more confident vehicle owners, and younger students who simply love cars and learning how things work. Private lessons can be customized around the student's age, experience, interests, and goals, allowing families to choose an educational experience that works for their individual learner. What makes Automotive Learning Lab distinct is our emphasis on real-world experience. Students don't just learn what a brake rotor, multimeter, or engine component is, they have the opportunity to work with the equipment, ask questions, practice skills, and understand why those skills matter. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where curiosity is encouraged, safety comes first, and students leave each class with knowledge and confidence they can carry into everyday life.
