I am a certified Special Education and Reading Specialist with over 20 years of classroom teaching experience working with students in Grades K-12. I hold state certifications in Arizona, Florida, and Georgia, and have extensive experience providing structured literacy instruction in both general education and special education settings. My background includes supporting students with IEPs, learning differences, and reading challenges through targeted, evidence-based intervention.
Throughout my career, I have taught in traditional classroom settings, small group instruction, and one-on-one intervention environments. My tutoring approach is structured and skill-focused, emphasizing active reading strategies, comprehension development, text structure, inferencing, vocabulary growth, and organized written responses. I use explicit instruction, modeling, guided practice, and progress monitoring to ensure measurable academic growth.
I specialize in virtual reading intervention and have experience supporting students who need individualized support outside the classroom. My goal is to build both literacy skills and student confidence through clear, structured instruction tailored to each learner’s needs.
