Greetings! I'm a dedicated certified special education teacher with a rich background spanning three years across high school, middle school, and in-home therapy for elementary students. Rather than emphasizing my qualifications, let me share how I can assist you:

Tailored Instruction:
I specialize in creating and implementing lessons aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) across diverse subjects and grade levels. My approach ensures personalized learning experiences that cater to your unique needs and learning style.

Reading and Comprehension Expertise:
Navigating the realm of reading and comprehension can be challenging, especially for struggling learners. I bring hands-on experience in directly teaching reading and comprehension strategies, focusing on cultivating skills while leveraging each student's strengths.

Individualized Education Plans (IEPs):
Understanding the importance of individualized support, I've developed and implemented effective IEPs within school settings. My experience extends to providing comprehensive assistance to students with special needs in various environments.

Holistic Approach:
I believe in fostering a holistic learning environment that not only addresses academic challenges but also supports overall student growth. My methodology goes beyond traditional tutoring, aiming to empower students with the tools they need to succeed both academically and personally.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Thomas is working with our son on developing a Transition Plan - going through career possibilities and identifying needs and ways to advocate for himself. Thomas adopted the curriculum that we wanted used and is helping our son make great progress on it. Our son is autistic and has an anxiety disorder and making goals is particularly difficult. Thomas has been patient and flexible with him.
