I’m a certified teacher with over 20 years of experience working with students across all grade levels (K–12), including extensive experience in special education, general education, and academic support.

I’ve taught at East Lyme High School, Stonington High School, and Clark Lane Middle School, supporting students in subjects including math, English, and history. My background allows me to meet students where they are—whether they need help catching up, building confidence, or pushing to the next level.

I specialize in:
* Elementary math and reading support
* Special education and differentiated instruction
* Study skills, organization, and executive functioning
* Homework help and academic confidence building

My approach is simple: break things down, build confidence, and create a plan that works for each student. I have extensive experience modifying curriculum and adapting instruction for different learning styles, making challenging material more manageable and less frustrating.

In addition to academics, I also have a background in physical education and can support students in fitness, training, and overall wellness.

I offer flexible evening availability and work with students online to provide focused, supportive sessions that lead to real progress.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Elementary Education from Sacred Heart University and have over 20 years of experience working with students across grades K–12. My background in psychology allows me to better understand how students learn, think, and respond to instruction, while my elementary training gives me a strong foundation in core subjects like math, reading, and writing. I specialize in breaking down concepts into manageable steps and adapting lessons to fit each student’s learning style. My goal is to build both academic skills and confidence so students can succeed independently.

I can work with students on general fitness, sport-specific conditioning, and creating sustainable healthy habits.
