Special Education Teacher | Reading & Executive Functioning

Krystal P.

Hi! My name is Krystal. I graduated with a B.A. in Elementary and Special Education from Columbia Union College. I also earned my Master's of Science in Special Education with concentrations in Early Intervention Preschool Specialist and Education of Students with Autism and Other Pervasive Developmental Delays from Johns Hopkins University. I also earned a Graduate Certificate in Bilingual Special Education from George Washington University.
I have been teaching for 22 years in the special education setting. Most of teaching experience is in the preschool setting working on the school readiness skills, but I have also had experience in teaching Kindergarten and first graders in special education I have taught reading, math, writing, science, and social studies during my teaching career. I also work with students and their families on social skills at school and at home. I have recently moved to middle school and support students with IEP's.
I enjoy seeing the growth that my students make over time. That is the best reward one can see. I feel that building that relationship with a student from day one is critical to the success in a student. Knowing how to reach a child so that he/she can reach his/her full potential is vital. I often get creative with how I teach using sensory activities to make learning fun for the students. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.
