"I’m Dr. Dalena L. I’m a passionate educator with over a decade of experience working with struggling readers and those that benefit from additional enrichment. With a Doctorate in Educational Leadership and certifications in Elementary Education, Reading, ESOL, Gifted, and Educational Leadership (K-12), I bring a wealth of knowledge—and a whole lot of heart—to every tutoring session.

I’ve spent years in the classroom, guiding students of all levels to strengthen their reading, and critical thinking skills. Whether it’s boosting reading comprehension or polishing essays, I’m here to help you shine. I’ve also worked with exceptional student education (ESE) learners, so I’m well-versed in adapting lessons to meet diverse needs. My superpower? Turning challenging concepts into "aha!" moments by using creative strategies, relatable examples, and a sprinkle of humor.

When you learn with me, you’re not just getting a tutor—you’re gaining a cheerleader and coach. I customize every lesson to fit your unique learning style, keeping it interactive, engaging, and yes, even fun. We’ll use digital tools, hands-on activities, and real-world connections to make learning meaningful (and dare I say, exciting?). Whether you're aiming for academic improvement, test prep success, or just a confidence boost, I’m ready to help you crush your goals.

Let’s dive in!

See you soon,

Dr. L.
