Certified Educator | Reading, Writing, and Study Skills Tutor for

Ashley A.

I have a strong background in both education and psychology, holding a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology and several years of experience working with students in academic and behavioral settings. I previously worked as a high school teacher in the School District of Lee County, where I supported students with diverse learning needs in a structured classroom environment. During that time, I also used programs like i-Ready to assess student progress and tailor instruction based on individual skill levels. My experience in education is paired with my current work in behavioral health and care coordination, which allows me to approach learning with a deeper understanding of how emotions, attention, and behavior impact academic success.

I have worked with students ranging from elementary through high school, both in classroom settings and in more individualized, supportive roles. My approach to tutoring is centered on meeting students where they are and building both skill and confidence. I break down concepts into manageable steps, use repetition and real-world examples, and incorporate strategies that support focus, organization, and comprehension. I am especially skilled in working with students who may feel overwhelmed, struggle with motivation, or need additional behavioral and emotional support alongside academics.

My goal as a tutor is not just to help students complete assignments, but to help them truly understand the material and feel more confident in their abilities. I focus on creating a supportive, patient, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. By combining my background in education with my training in psychology, I am able to support both academic growth and the development of lifelong learning skills.
