"I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and a Master’s degree in Special Education, and I am a New York State–certified Students with Disabilities teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education, working with students across all grade levels K–12 in both general education and special education settings. My background allows me to understand how students learn, how to build skills progressively, and how to support diverse learning needs effectively.

Throughout my career, I have taught in classroom and one-on-one settings, supporting students in reading, writing, test preparation, and skill development. I specialize in state test preparation for grades 3–12, helping students improve comprehension, written responses, and test-taking strategies. My approach is structured, supportive, and student-centered, with an emphasis on breaking skills down into manageable steps and building confidence. In addition to teaching, I also coach soccer, which has strengthened my ability to motivate students, build discipline, and create positive, goal-oriented learning environments." less...
