"As an experienced and dedicated educator, I am passionate about helping students build confidence and achieve success through individualized, engaging instruction. I hold New York State certifications in Childhood Education (Grades 1–6) and Students with Disabilities (Grades 1–6), along with an extension in English Language Arts (Grades 7–9). Over the past several years, I have worked with a wide range of learners across elementary and middle school grades, first as a fifth and sixth grade general education teacher, and now as a fourth grade special education teacher in an integrated co-taught setting.

In my current role, I specialize in differentiating instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners, including those with IEPs, while fostering independence and academic growth. I use a variety of evidence-based strategies, multimodal techniques, and hands-on activities to make learning accessible and meaningful for every student. My teaching philosophy is grounded in strong relationships, collaboration, and a belief that every child can thrive when instruction meets them where they are.

As a tutor, my goal is to help students feel supported, motivated, and capable. Parents can expect a professional, caring approach that combines academic rigor with patience, encouragement, and consistent communication about their child’s progress. I aim to make each session both productive and positive, helping students strengthen their skills and grow their confidence as learners." less...
