As a Certified Special Education Teacher with credentials for Kindergarten through 12th grade across all areas of special education—including Severe Needs Affective, Severe Needs Cognitive, and Moderate Needs—I bring both expertise and passion to every tutoring session.

With 10 years of classroom teaching experience and over 15 years of combined tutoring and teaching experience, I understand how to identify and address learning challenges effectively.

My approach begins with a comprehensive assessment in reading and mathematics to analyze any gaps in your child's knowledge base. I can also customize tutoring sessions for specific topics and skills, upon request and include subjects like writing, grammar, science and history.

From there, I create targeted learning plans using interactive online materials, educational games, and digital library books to help your child excel academically.
