I have Masters degrees (2 separate degrees) in Special Education and Psychology. I have taught High School level Introduction to Psychology, and am familiar with the content necessary to master the new APA standards for High School.

I have experience working with children at various ability levels and students with IEPs/504s. I format my lessons to best meet the needs of my students by incorporating breaks, movement, and activities that make learning engaging and fun. Online lessons have the added benefit of using IXL to support with learning and increasing engagement in lessons.

Has Made a Huge Difference for My Son

We went through several tutors before finding Cassandra. She is amazing and awesome to work with. She started helping my son with reading comprehension but is also able to help him with science and math and probably more than that. She takes the time to source materials that will help him out. I cannot recommend her enough! She makes each lesson interesting to keep him focused (not easy), we are so grateful that she is his tutor.

Great tutor for ADHD students

My 17-year-old son has ADHD, dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Cassandra is very friendly and patient. She is also flexible about helping with school assignments and study guides that have been uploaded to her. She has helped my son with English, math, science, and economics assignments. My son has two 90-minute lessons per week with Cassandra and is always happy to work with her.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ms. Cassandra teaches math and English for 4th grade. She is available weekly and always comes prepared for lessons. She provides me the materials early. She assigns works on Mobymax. She also always asks for our suggestions and questions. My son can be very distracted during sessions, she is patient with him and helps him understand. Hoping to work with her for many more classes.

Cassandra has been working with our 17 year old son weekly for about a month now. We are thrilled. She continues to effortlessly adapt and flex to the needs of the week. She is easy to work with and creative in her session planning. Could not be happier.

Kind and patient tutor

Cassandra was amazing! She was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. She created a fun learning environment that kept my daughter engaged and looking forward to her next lesson. Cassandra would even pull lessons from the curriculum of our school. She went above and beyond what I had expected! You will not go wrong choosing Cassandra as your child's tutor!
