PART OF MY STORY

Hello! My name is Zoe Pitkin and I’m a former secondary math teacher.

I met my husband, Riley, in middle school, we started dating in high school and have been dating each other ever since. Despite our different ambitions, God brought us together super young and we married in August 2018. I always say to him, what a beautiful life we’ve lived since then!

Riley currently serves in the US Air Force, so we’ve had many adventures with the military, including relocating four times since he first joined the service. Moving so much has allowed me the amazing privilege of working at several different private schools and meeting students and families from all across America. However, the greatest challenge has been saying goodbyes every year or two (or three) and figuring out how and where to start over at each new place.

After learning to embrace our semi-nomadic lifestyle, I decided to pursue something different so I can continue working with students and maintain the flexibility I need to enjoy time with my family. I’m excited for this new endeavor out of the classroom, and would love to support your child in their pursuit of personal and academic success!
