Certified Louisiana Teacher | Reading, Math & Test Prep Specialis

Sandra T.

I’m a Louisiana-certified teacher with 5 years of experience teaching in a self-contained classroom, where I’ve supported students with diverse learning needs and helped them make meaningful academic and behavioral progress.

I specialize in working with K–8 students in reading, math, and test preparation, with a strong focus on intervention and skill-building for students who need extra support. My background in self-contained instruction has given me the tools to break down complex concepts, adapt lessons, and meet students exactly where they are.

In addition to my classroom experience, I work closely at home with a child diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and ODD. Through consistent structure, individualized support, and targeted instruction, I’ve helped ensure he stays on track and successfully progresses toward graduation without delays. This hands-on experience strengthens my ability to connect with students who need patience, structure, and understanding.

I have experience supporting students who:

Are performing below grade level
Need reading or math intervention
Have ADHD, autism, or behavioral challenges
Struggle with focus, confidence, or test-taking

In my sessions, I use structured, step-by-step instruction, repetition with purpose, and positive reinforcement to build both skills and confidence. I adjust each lesson based on the student’s needs and communicate progress clearly so parents can see real results.

My goal is to help every student grow academically while building the confidence and independence they need to succeed in school and beyond.
