"I bring nearly two decades of experience as a certified special education teacher, specializing in behavior intervention, life skills, and academic support for neurodivergent learners. I hold a degree in education and have spent the majority of my career supporting students with emotional and behavioral needs in both inclusive and self-contained settings. My background includes designing individualized interventions, leading classroom instruction across all four core subjects, and helping students develop coping strategies that extend far beyond the classroom.

Over the years, I've worked with students ranging from K to 12th grade, including gifted learners with autism, students with ADHD, and children with trauma histories. I understand how to meet students where they are and build both skills and confidence, using structured routines, engaging content, and a relationship-based approach. My teaching style is patient, consistent, and rooted in the belief that every student can succeed when given the right tools and support.

Whether your child needs help catching up academically, learning how to manage emotions, or just building self-esteem through small academic wins, I’m here to help. My goal is not only to improve performance but to empower students to believe in themselves again." less...
