"I’m excited to support you on your learning journey. I bring 11 years of experience as an elementary special education teacher and a K–12 teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH). I graduated from Ball State University, with a Bachelors degree in Special Education (Mild Intervention K-12) and Deaf and Hard of Hearing (K-12). I have also recently completed the Keys to Literacy endorsement.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with students with a wide range of learning needs and communication styles, and I’ve learned that every child thrives when instruction is individualized, accessible, and built on mutual trust. My tutoring approach is warm, patient, and highly personalized. I begin by getting to know each student’s strengths, challenges, and learning preferences. From there, I create structured, engaging lessons that incorporate visual supports, multi-sensory strategies, and clear routines. For my DHH students, I focus on accessible communication, language development, and strategies that empower them to confidently navigate both academic and social settings.

I believe that learning should feel safe, encouraging, and achievable. I work closely with families to set shared goals and celebrate growth every step of the way. Whether your child needs academic support, communication strategies, or confidence building, I’m here to help them succeed—and to make the process enjoyable and meaningful." less...
