I'm Michelle, a Florida-certified educator with over 16 years of experience helping elementary students strengthen academic skills, overcome learning challenges, and build confidence.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a master's degree in Exceptional Student Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis. I am certified in Elementary Education and Exceptional Student Education (ESE), with endorsements in Reading and ESOL.

I specialize in elementary reading, phonics, math, and study skills, particularly for students who struggle academically, have learning differences, or benefit from individualized instruction. My experience includes working extensively with struggling readers, students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), and children who need additional academic support.

My teaching approach focuses on identifying learning gaps, breaking challenging concepts into manageable steps, and providing targeted instruction that meets each student's individual needs. I combine clear explanations, structured practice, encouragement, and positive reinforcement to help students develop independence and confidence.

I believe every child can make meaningful academic progress with the right support. My goal is not simply to help students complete assignments, but to strengthen foundational skills and develop lasting confidence in their abilities.

I offer online tutoring exclusively, providing personalized, supportive instruction from the comfort of your home. I welcome the opportunity to partner with your family and help your child succeed!
