With a master’s degree and advanced training in guidance, special education, and educational administration, I bring more than twenty-five years of experience supporting students across diverse academic settings.

My approach extends beyond completing assignments or improving isolated skills. I seek to understand how each student learns, where progress becomes difficult, and what individualized support may build confidence, independence, and academic success. I believe meaningful progress begins with trust, open communication, and understanding the student as both a learner and a person.

My professional experience includes general and special education, educational assessment, pupil appraisal, school counseling, academic intervention, educational consulting, and student advocacy. This background helps me recognize that academic difficulties may involve organization, task initiation, attention, confidence, communication, executive functioning, learning differences, academic gaps, or uncertainty about how to begin.

Depending on individual needs, our work may include reading comprehension, writing, study skills, organization, planning, assignment management, time management, self-advocacy, academic confidence, and executive-functioning support. Rather than simply providing answers, I help students develop strategies for approaching difficult work, understanding expectations, seeking assistance, and becoming more independent learners.

I adapt instruction to each student’s strengths, needs, pace, interests, and learning style. I also value communication with parents and caregivers regarding progress, emerging strengths, continuing challenges, and strategies for continued growth.

My goal is to create an environment in which challenges are understood, strengths are recognized, and meaningful progress can develop.

Every student deserves to be known by more than the reason they were referred.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

With more than twenty-five years in education, I have supported students with ADHD while helping them strengthen executive function skills through general and special education, educational assessment, school counseling, and individualized academic coaching. My work focuses on helping students develop organization, planning, task initiation, time management, study strategies, self-advocacy, and academic confidence while building the skills needed for greater independence. I recognize that ADHD affects every learner differently, so I tailor instruction to each student's strengths, needs, and goals rather than relying on a single approach. My objective is not simply to complete assignments, but to help students develop lasting strategies that promote success in school and beyond.
Common Core

Common Core

As an Academic Coach with advanced training in guidance, special education, and educational administration, I have helped students build the academic skills needed to succeed with Common Core standards across reading, writing, mathematics, and executive functioning. My instruction emphasizes conceptual understanding, critical thinking, problem solving, and the application of knowledge rather than memorization alone. I individualize lessons to each student's strengths, learning style, and pace while helping them develop organization, study strategies, and academic confidence. My goal is not simply to improve classroom performance, but to help students become more capable, independent learners.
Creative Writing

Creative Writing

Every student has a voice worth hearing. My role is to help them discover it, strengthen it, and express it with confidence through stories, poetry, personal narratives, and creative projects. Rather than beginning with rules and formulas, we begin with curiosity, imagination, and meaningful ideas before shaping them into engaging, well-crafted writing. Students leave with stronger writing skills, greater confidence, and a deeper appreciation for the creative process.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary school lays the foundation for a student's confidence, curiosity, and lifelong learning habits. I provide individualized support in reading, writing, math, study skills, and executive functioning while helping students develop organization, perseverance, and independent problem-solving skills. My sessions combine engaging instruction with patience, encouragement, and practical strategies that help children understand not only what they are learning, but how they learn best. I work closely with families to celebrate growth, strengthen confidence, and help every student build a strong foundation for future success.
English

English

English is far more than grammar and essays. It is the ability to think clearly, organize ideas, and communicate with confidence. I work with students from middle school through college who need support with reading comprehension, literary analysis, essay development, grammar, revision, research papers, and academic writing. Whether a student is struggling to begin an assignment, organize their thoughts, or strengthen a final draft, I focus on building the underlying thinking skills that create stronger writers—not simply better papers. My coaching emphasizes critical reading, executive functioning, organization, planning, and confidence so students become increasingly independent in their writing. Together, we develop strategies that transfer beyond a single assignment and support long-term academic success.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Strong essays begin with clear thinking, not just strong grammar. I help students develop ideas, organize their thoughts, strengthen their writing, and communicate with confidence while preserving their authentic voice. Whether working on classroom assignments, literary analysis, scholarship essays, or college application essays, I guide students through each stage of the writing process—from brainstorming and outlining to revision and refinement. My goal is to help students become thoughtful, independent writers who understand both how to write and how to think through what they want to say.
Executive Functioning

Executive Functioning

Executive functioning influences how students organize, plan, initiate tasks, manage time, regulate attention, solve problems, and follow through on academic responsibilities. As an Academic Coach with advanced training in guidance and special education, I help students strengthen these skills through individualized instruction that recognizes each learner's unique strengths and challenges. Rather than relying on a single strategy, I work collaboratively with students to develop practical approaches that improve organization, self-management, confidence, and academic independence. My goal is to help students build executive function skills that support lasting success both in school and everyday life.
Homeschool

Homeschool

Every homeschool journey is as unique as the student behind it. I partner with families to provide individualized academic coaching that strengthens learning while developing confidence, organization, executive functioning, and independent study skills. Rather than focusing solely on completing lessons, I help students discover how they learn best while adapting instruction to their interests, strengths, and long-term goals. My goal is to support both students and families by creating meaningful learning experiences that foster curiosity, growth, and lifelong learning.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

The best interviews don't begin with perfect answers—they begin with genuine confidence. I help students and professionals prepare by organizing their thoughts, communicating clearly, and responding authentically rather than relying on memorized scripts. Together, we practice common interview questions, strengthen communication skills, and develop strategies for managing nervousness while presenting genuine strengths with confidence. My goal is to help every client walk into an interview prepared, self-assured, and ready to make a lasting impression.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Public speaking begins long before a student stands in front of an audience. I help students organize their ideas, develop clear presentations, and communicate with confidence in classrooms, interviews, and academic settings. Together, we strengthen preparation, presentation structure, delivery, and authentic communication so students can express their thoughts with greater clarity and confidence. My focus is not on creating polished performers, but on helping students discover that their voice is worth hearing.
Social Work

Social Work

Social work begins with understanding people, their strengths, the challenges they face, and the environments in which they live and learn. My work has focused on helping students and families navigate executive functioning, confidence, communication, self-advocacy, and developmental growth while strengthening the academic skills needed to succeed. Whether supporting social work coursework or helping families better understand the challenges affecting learning and behavior, I emphasize thoughtful problem solving, empathy, and practical strategies that translate into everyday life.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I specialize in helping students with ADHD, executive functioning challenges, learning differences, anxiety, autism, and other developmental needs become more confident and independent learners. Rather than focusing only on assignments or grades, I help students develop the planning, organization, self-awareness, and problem-solving skills that support lasting success. Every session is individualized to the student's strengths, challenges, and learning style while partnering closely with families to build strategies that extend beyond tutoring. My goal is for every student to be understood beyond the picture first painted and to develop the confidence and skills to succeed independently.
