Hi there! It’s me! I’m the teacher, Tiyana Jarvis!

I’m a passionate educator and proud mom of two—Mila and Mason—an infant and a kindergartener at the time I created The Good Apple. With a deep love for early education, I’ve dedicated my work to building strong academic foundations for preschool and kindergarten learners.

I created The Good Apple as a space where students are not only taught, but truly seen, heard, and encouraged to extraordinary! My passion for homeschooling comes from the belief that every child deserves an environment tailored to their unique gifts and learning style. I believe all students have the ability to exceed the norm when given the right support, love, and encouragement.

Currently, I serve as the Director of Education at Sylvan Learning and am a former teacher at The PREP School. These roles have only deepened my commitment to making early learning joyful, personalized, and impactful—for both children and their families.
