Elementary and Middle School - Math, Reading, ELA Tutor

Dawn G.

I'm a former public school teacher with six years of classroom experience and a Bachelor's degree in Education with a concentration in Mathematics from Georgia Southern University, where I graduated cum laude. I hold Georgia certifications in Elementary Education, Middle Grades Mathematics, and Special Education. Today, I work in education technology, staying closely connected to schools, educators, and the world of teaching and learning.

My philosophy is simple: every child can learn. Students may learn differently or need different levels of support, but with the right approach, every student can grow. I tailor tutoring to each child's needs, interests, and learning style, focusing on academic growth as well as confidence and independence.

I have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading, writing, mathematics, and general academic skills. As a former special education teacher, I'm especially passionate about helping students who need a different approach to understand challenging concepts.

My background in special education also gives me a unique perspective when working with students who have an IEP (Individualized Education Program). I can help families understand their child's educational needs, identify strategies and accommodations that may help, and provide guidance when students face ongoing academic or behavioral challenges. I can also serve as a knowledgeable advocate during IEP meetings, helping families ask questions, voice concerns, and collaborate with the school team.

My goal is for every student to leave each session thinking, "I can do this." If your child needs academic support, a confidence boost, or a tutor who truly believes in their potential, I'd love to help!
