"Hi! I’m Theresa — a Speech-Language Pathologist and experienced reading/language specialist who is passionate about helping students build confidence in their academic skills. I’ve worked across a wide range of educational settings, which allows me to connect with learners of all personalities, backgrounds, and learning styles.

I tutor students in:

-Reading and literacy skills (phonics, decoding, fluency, comprehension)

-Writing and grammar

-Language development (expressive/receptive language support)

-Study skills & organization

-Creating personalized study guides + teaching students how to study

-Homework help across subjects

-Portuguese tutoring (beginner–intermediate)

-Spanish tutoring (elementary–intermediate)

My teaching style is patient, structured, and highly individualized. I break down skills in a way that makes sense for each student and give them the tools they need to be independent learners — not just during our sessions, but in their daily school life.

I’ve seen firsthand how quickly students grow when they understand the strategies behind reading, writing, note-taking, and studying. Whether your learner needs help strengthening their literacy foundation, improving grammar or written expression, building better study habits, or learning a new language, I’m here to support them every step of the way.

Above all, I believe every student can succeed with the right guidance, encouragement, and strategies. I’d love to help your learner feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress." less...
