" She couldn’t stop raving about you
and the experience in general."
Just needed to take a minute to thank you for such an amazing session.
Maya came home so incredibly invigorated and excited (which if you know anything about teenage girls that is a near impossible feat especially on a weekday).
She couldn’t stop raving about you and the experience in general.
Thank you for building my girl up. Appreciate the awesome session and incredibly helpful feedback.

" I had never felt so connected to and supported by a teacher before. "
Vibrant, joyous and dynamic are some words that come to mind when I think about Mannikka's energy and style of teaching.
In addition to her bold and animated presence (you can't take the dancer out of her) in the classroom, she was fierce in her care and advocacy for students outside the classroom too.
I had never felt so connected to and supported by a teacher before. I needed a teacher like Mannikka especially during my junior and senior year of high school when I was dealing with a serious medical challenge.
I will always be grateful for her mentorship, concern and encouragement.

Hi there, I'm Mannikka!
I am a former social studies special education teacher and curriculum designer that is in love with innovation and imagination in the field of education.
I have a logical and organized mind so while I explore the realm of creativity, I also create methods and processes that help communities of learners stay focused and driven.
My approach is playful but serious, imaginative and reasonable.
I stretch the limits and break the rules, but I have a fundamental understanding of purpose that allows me to do so. This is what separates my product from many others and why you should book me for your next educational adventure!
Got something on your mind?
