I am a New York State Certified Elementary school teacher with over 14 years of experience teaching in both private and public schools. I have extensive experience working with children who have ADHD and other special needs creating personalized lessons, differentiating instruction and teaching them strategies to succeed. My approach focuses in patience, adaptability, and fostering an engaging learning experience. I specialize in empowering students to build critical skills in organization, time management, focus, and communication. My mission is to help individuals unlock their potential and transform it into lifelong performance, both in and out of the classroom. With a strong background as an educator and subject matter expert in reading and writing, I guide students in developing key habits and processes for managing their academic workloads, meeting deadlines, and organizing all aspects of their lives. I ensure that students are confident in navigating their schools’ online platforms to avoid missed assignments and stay on top of goals. Together we create daily or weekly action plans to ensure steady progress toward academic success. My goal is to build their confidence and ensure not only do they understand the material but also enjoy the learning process.
