"I am a certified special education teacher with over five years of experience working with students in kindergarten through fifth grade. I hold endorsements in K–8 Reading, K–8 Instructional Strategist I (mild/moderate disabilities), and K–12 Instructional Strategist II (intellectual disabilities). Throughout my career, I have supported students with a range of learning needs, including intellectual disabilities, specific learning disabilities, autism, and ADHD. I have taught in both self-contained and inclusive settings, providing instruction in reading, math, writing, life skills, and social-emotional development.

In my teaching practice, I have delivered individualized instruction in one-on-one, small group, and whole-group formats. My methods are grounded in evidence-based strategies, such as explicit instruction, visual supports, task analysis, multisensory learning, and repeated practice. I regularly adapt curriculum materials to meet my students' unique needs and use data to guide instruction and measure progress. I focus on breaking skills into manageable steps, building independence, and celebrating growth along the way. My goal is always to help students develop both academic confidence and real-world skills.

As a tutor, I bring patience, flexibility, and a deep understanding of how to support diverse learners. I believe in meeting students where they are and building strong, trusting relationships that foster growth. Whether your child needs help with foundational skills, reading comprehension, or navigating learning challenges, I will create a plan that is personalized, engaging, and supportive. I am passionate about helping students succeed, and I look forward to partnering with families to make that happen." less...
