Hi, I’m Muaath

Licensed Teacher Specializing in Grades 4-8

I graduated from OSU, but my passion for education began much earlier when my parents fueled a love of learning. They provided books on a diverse array of topics like astronomy and paleontology and encouraged me to tackle accelerated courses.

Currently, I am a junior high English teacher, and prior to this, I taught 4th grade as a classroom teacher, covering all subject areas. My experience across different grade levels has deepened my understanding of how students learn and grow, allowing me to adapt my teaching to meet their unique needs.

My educational pursuits extend beyond the classroom; I teach self-defense classes at AMCC and strive to bring out the best in everyone I work with. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy traveling, video games, and cherishing quality time with friends and family.

I’m excited to bring my diverse skills and experiences to work with you and your student.

Hi, I’m Emma

Supporting Students in Early Learning

I’ve been working as a teacher’s assistant for the past few years and recently had the opportunity to volunteer at AVLC Summer Camp. My passion for working with children continues to grow as I watch them learn, develop, and build confidence each day.

I truly enjoy being part of a child’s learning journey—their energy and curiosity brighten my day. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students can grow both academically and socially while building confidence in themselves.

I’m excited to begin teaching and getting to know each student. I can’t wait to meet you!

At home, I enjoy exploring my creative side through visual art and spending time outdoors. I also love music—I play the violin and piano, and I’m currently learning the electric guitar.

Hi, I’m Marlee

Supporting Students in 1 – 12th

I am delighted to join the team at A Village Learning Center. I am very passionate about helping students learn and grow, and I cannot wait to continue making an impact on students with this amazing opportunity. I graduated with my associates degree from Owens Community College in December of 2025, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education at BGSU. I have been working in classrooms and tutoring ever since I graduated high school a couple years ago, and my love for this career continues to grow.

I am quite the busy bee outside of work. I enjoy staying active by going on walks, weight lifting, and attending pilates classes. I also love reading, writing, and any form of crafting. My family is very musically inclined, so naturally I also like to sing, attempt to learn instruments, and listen to a variety of music. I am also a lover of plants, animals, and coffee!

I am looking forward to working with you and helping students grow!

I’m a licensed teacher, currently teaching junior high. My teaching experience ranges from K-8th grades.

Outside of work, I’m a proud husband and father to two amazing kids, Ire and Ileri. In my free time, I enjoy watching soccer, caring for our family’s pet leopard gecko, and savoring my favorite meal, chicken alfredo. My goal is to help every student I work with achieve their full potential by developing strong study habits, sharpening their skills, and fostering a growth mindset. I look forward to partnering with you and your child on this exciting educational journey!

Hi, I’m Katie

Licensed Intervention Specialist Working with Grades K-3rd

I’m thrilled to be joining the team at A Village Learning Center. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toledo and have spent the last eight years as an intervention specialist, working with students from 1st through 8th grade. I’m passionate about teaching and believe that every child is capable of learning when provided with the right support and encouragement. My goal is to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to succeed.

When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my husband and our two small dogs, Abby and Stevie. I enjoy exploring local metroparks, traveling (even though I haven’t yet been outside the U.S.), and indulging in my favorite treat—Reese’s peanut butter cups. Summer is my favorite season, and I also love watching shows like Outlander. I’m looking forward to connecting with students and families as we work together to create a positive and rewarding learning experience!
