"I am a dedicated special needs educator with over 20 years of experience providing personalized instruction to students across grades K-12. My background includes providing co-teaching and resource room instruction to grades K-8, Wilson Reading instruction for student with dyslexia in grades 2-12 both in-person and online in both one-on-one and group sessions, where I have successfully helped students improve their grades and reading levels. I hold a master's degree in special education from Texas A&M University, along with specialized certifications in Wilson Reading Levels 1 & 2 (holding the title of Wilson Reading Dyslexia Therapist), LETRS program training, and I am a National Board Certified Exceptional Needs Specialist . These credentials, combined with my extensive work with students of all exceptionalities, ensure that I bring both academic rigor and current pedagogical best practices to every session.

My tutoring philosophy is rooted in a collaborative/student-centered approach that prioritizes long-term understanding over rote memorization. By utilizing diagnostic assessments, I create customized learning plans tailored to each student's unique learning style and academic goals. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into manageable, relatable components through specific multi-sensory techniques. Beyond academic mastery, I focus on building student confidence and metacognitive skills, empowering them to become independent learners who can navigate future challenges with resilience and self-assurance." less...
