The parents and the students I have worked with find that I am professional, compassionate and work hard to ensure that their child meets their goals. I have experience working with special needs students who are emotionally disabled, autistic and learning disabled and students of diverse backgrounds. I look forward to working with your child to help them achieve their best results.
