About 

Hi, my name is Renata Carvalho.

​

I am a Kindergarten teacher from Brazil, a certified Kids Life Coach (by Rio Coaching, Brazil), and trained on Squabbles Method - a new approach to dealing with bullying by Brooks Gibbs. I also have experience working as an assistant teacher with special education children at Northville & Farmington Public Schools.

​

The Kindness Coaching Lessons are a combination of my Kids Life Coaching Certification Techniques, my Squabbles Training Course for Professionals, and also my teaching professional experience in Brazil and US.

​

 I started I'm Kind Tutoring thinking about my own childhood experiences, when as a middle school student, my classmates would often make fun of my hair; how it was “ugly”.  

​

At that time, I didn’t know how to deal with the situation, and would "melt down" in tears every time these situations happened. 

​

I also didn't know how to “standing up” for myself, and to respond in a kind way to these kids.

I often would call them names, or just would go home, keep quiet, crying, and feeling very helpless.   

 

At that time, I wished someone could teach me how to respond these kids in a calm, and assertive way. I wished I didn't feel so helpless. I wished I could learn from these experiences and move on.

​

I hope I can be helpful to your child, so he/she can gain some skills and feel more confident while dealing with mean kids in daily life, especially at school, sports or other social gatherings.

 

Hope to see you soon!
