I am a tutor who has the knowledge and expertise to deliver high quality instruction through digital methods for students who require special education services. My approach to instruction is individualize by developing specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of all learners. I can tutor a wide range of subjects from traditional academics to functional life skills.

My Professional Experience:
I am currently a Special Education Administrator in Illinois. I oversee 10 teachers, 14 paraprofessionals, and ~110 students with an IEP. My duties range from providing direct support and professional development to classroom teachers, leading IEP Meetings, compliance monitoring in district and legal responsibilities and more. Ultimately, my job is to ensure students receive the supports they need to be successful. Prior to this, I worked as a high school Special Education Teacher in the transition program. The classroom was structured on the foundation of the following skills: independence, advocate, prepare for transition, and growth mindset. In the classroom, I taught traditional academics and functional life skills to a diverse range of abilities. Throughout college, I worked as Professional Support Worker (PSW) for numerous families with children/ young adults with disabilities. As a PSW, I supported families within their homes and community to increase the independence of their child/ young adult.
