"As a dedicated special education teacher with experience across elementary and middle school settings, I bring a student-centered, compassionate, and data-driven approach to learning. I have supported diverse learners in Texas, Washington, California, and Hawaii earning multiple state teaching licenses and consistently tailoring instruction to meet individual goals. From improving early literacy and numeracy skills in young learners to designing progress-monitoring systems for middle school students with IEPs, my work is rooted in boosting confidence, celebrating student voice, and recognizing every child’s unique strengths and learning style.

My tutoring style blends structured skill-building with engaging, hands-on learning experiences. I believe students thrive when they feel seen, supported, and challenged, so I use clear routines, individualized learning plans, and creative strategies such as project-based learning, tactile activities, and reflection-based practice. I consistently communicate with families and students to build trust and ensure that goals and progress are transparent and meaningful.

Above all, I strive to make learning joyful, accessible, and empowering. Whether helping a student master foundational academic skills or building executive functioning and confidence, I meet students where they are and help them grow from there. My goal is to create a safe, encouraging environment where every learner feels capable, motivated, and proud of their progress." less...
