Experienced SPED Educator Executive Functioning & Reading

Juan C.

I am a Special Education professional dedicated to helping students grow academically, emotionally, and confidently. I currently work as a SPED Paraeducator at Alameda High School, where I support students with a wide range of learning needs, provide executive functioning coaching, and deliver targeted reading and writing interventions. I have also served as Alameda’s Family Engagement Liaison, supporting multilingual families and strengthening home–school partnerships.

I completed my bachelor’s degree in Education at the University of Northern Colorado’s Center of Urban Education, graduating with honors. My training focuses on culturally responsive practices, literacy development, and supporting diverse learners in rigorous academic settings. I will be completing my 10-week student teaching experience next semester, after which I will be fully credentialed as a Learning Specialist.

My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and relationship-based. I believe students learn best when instruction is clear, accessible, and tailored to their strengths. I specialize in:

Reading comprehension & vocabulary

Writing support (grammar, essays, planning, revision)

Executive functioning (organization, planning, task initiation, time management)

SPED-aligned strategies for students with ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD, and SLDs

Confidence-building & academic resilience

I’ve seen firsthand how personalized support can change a student’s entire school experience. My goal is not just to help students pass assignments—it’s to give them tools they can use for life.

If you're looking for a supportive, reliable, and skilled tutor who understands both academic and social-emotional needs, I’d love to work with you.

I look forward to helping your student succeed!
