Learning the foundational skills for life can be hard work for children and parents! My passion is supporting students in finding academic and life success with personalized tutoring and coaching. I work with students in grades K-5 on improving foundational reading, math, and writing skills. I also assist students in grades K-12 on improving executive functioning skills such as study skills, test taking, academic self advocacy, and emotional regulation within academic settings. I have specialty training and experience working with students with learning differences like dyslexia, autism, ADHD, and specific learning disabilities. I focus on solutions and problem solving that involve the student and parent with a focus on data collection to ensure time and resources are as effective and efficient as possible.

I have been a teacher for over 16 exciting years! I have worked across public, private, virtual school, general education, special education and homeschool environments and am familiar with the intricacies of each setting. I am currently a Board Certified Behavior Analyst consulting in public schools as well as a certified Dyslexia practitioner for an Orton Gillingham program. I am also a former certified Special Education Teacher in grades K-12 and in Elementary Education. I love working with children and teens! I work hard to find out what their interests are and how best to bring a love of learning to each session. I have an undergraduate degree from Florida State University in Psychology, a Master’s degree from the University of South Florida in Curriculum and Instruction and post-graduate training in Applied Behavior Analysis. I use direct instruction, fluency measures, and data collection and analysis to determine specific teaching procedures for each student.

I look forward to working with you to find solutions to academic problems!
