Hi, I’m Jeannette,

I help future SLPs and current SLP graduate students deepen their understanding of coursework, strengthen key concepts and build confidence as they move through demanding programs. I am a certified Speech Language Pathologist with over ten years of experience supporting disabled and neurodivergent learners, with a focus on structured literacy, dyslexia intervention and the foundations of communication sciences and disorders.

My training allows me to connect academic content with real clinical reasoning, helping students grasp not only what they are studying but why it matters in practice. I also provide SLP Praxis test preparation that breaks material into manageable sections and supports long term recall.

I believe every learner benefits from individualized guidance that honors their strengths and learning style. My goal is to help you stay organized, prepared and capable of meeting the expectations of the communication sciences and disorders field. If you want a tutor who understands the pace, pressure and purpose of communicative sciences and disorders, I would be honored to support your journey.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

As a former Speech-Language Pathologist, 60% of my student caseload consisted of students with ADD/ADHD. I worked with these students, their parents and teachers tirelessly to create and design helpful learning strategies. I also created Individualized education plans for these students so that their teachers could implement the proper accommodations and modifications for their classroom instruction.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I hold a current certificate from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill in regards to their esteemed evidence based research program is called Structured TEACCHING Autism. This program informed me of the intricacies of teaching Autistic children. Also I am now aware of how to create successful activity and lesson scheduling for Autistic students.
Career Development

Career Development

I help exceptional and special needs learners to locate post secondary and vocational options. I have done this for many years as I have a current clientele of 50+ students. It is my goal in life to help others become successful.
College Counseling

College Counseling

My company has helped over 15 high school level students secure spot in post-secondary institutions with the past 3 months. With this in mind, I have worked with students in every aspect of their college admission process. This includes: narrowing down school selections, transcript advisement, writing essays, locating recommendators and seeking test prep
Common Core

Common Core

I have worked in the public school sector for 5 years. With this in mind, I am very familiar with the details of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. in addition, I have written numerous research papers that describe the pro's and con's of Common Core which required extensive research and knowledge to complete.
Dyslexia

Dyslexia

I specialize in supporting individuals with dyslexia through evidence-based, compassionate practice. I hold a Master’s of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on Dyslexia and other Language-Based Learning Disabilities. My graduate studies deepened my understanding of both hereditary and acquired forms of dyslexia, equipping me with tools to identify, assess, and address the unique needs of each learner. My work combines scientific insight with a human touch, helping students develop literacy skills, confidence, and strategies that empower them to thrive in academic and everyday settings.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

As a Speech-Language Therapist, I have had the pleasure of working with K-6th grade elementary students for five years. It is through this experience that I have learned that the K-6th elementary student is curious, yet bored easily. I have had to use WebQuests, Animoto's and other innovative projects to keep them focused and learning. A reward or point system is also very motivating for a K-6th grade elementary student. Therefore, I offer a unique system that allows the K-6th student to cash their points or rewards in every month so they can have a look into the 'treasure chest'.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I am currently an ESL instructor. I teach Hispanic-Americans the rules and exceptions of the English language. Learning English can be quite challenging to individuals who are learning English as their second language. I have documented success in making their learning experiences more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Handwriting

Handwriting

While pursuing my Master's of Education I took courses related to how handwriting can expose signs of dyslexia. I am skilled in creating strategies to assist students in their pursuit of neat handwriting. One of the strategies I am currently working on is the Project Read Curriculum.
Hard of Hearing

Hard of Hearing

I interned at the Mississippi School for Deaf and learned about cochlear implants and how to educate students that are hard of hearing and deaf. I am familiar with the American Sign Language as I use it regularly. Also I have been the honorary panelist at 2 Deaf and Hard of Hearing Spelling Bee's at the MS School for the Deaf.
Phonics

Phonics

I have done extensive graduate level research on Phonics Awareness. One research project was presented at the Mississippi Speech and Hearing Association Conference. My graduate coursework in Dyslexia centered around phonics, phonemic and phonological awareness.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am an international speaker who has delivered keynotes and workshops for educators, therapists, and global organizations committed to inclusive learning. My presentations explore neurodiversity, language development, and literacy through an empowering and practical lens. Drawing from my experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist and author, I translate complex research into engaging, actionable strategies that inspire change in classrooms and communities. Each talk is designed to spark reflection, promote equity, and celebrate the diverse ways people learn and communicate.
Reading

Reading

I am an Orton Gillingham trained associate. The Orton Gillingham research has been used since the 1930's and has been involved in a multitude of studies. The Orton-Gillingham approach is based on a technique of studying and teaching language, understanding the nature of human language, the mechanisms involved in learning, and the language-learning processes in individuals. Using Orton-Gillingham teaching sessions are action-oriented and involve constant interaction. I use auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements and all language skills taught are reinforced by having the student listen, speak, read and write.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I have attained a Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree in the Special Education spectrum. With this in mind, I am well-versed in the terminology used to identify and diagnose special needs individuals. I have worked on Individualized Education Plans to suit the needs of special needs learners. I am also the founder of a company that supports the community of special/exceptional learners in the state of Mississippi.
Speech

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist who has presented research at statewide and global conferences. I am also an author whose work explores the intersections of literacy, language, and neurodiversity. I hold a specialized Master’s degree in Language-Based Learning Disorders and have completed an American Speech-Language-Hearing Association training certificate focused on the educational and emotional impact of stuttering in school-aged children. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with empathy, helping students build confidence, strengthen literacy, and rediscover the joy in learning.

Study Skills

While pursuing my Masters of Education I took very few classes that taught different approaches to helping students with their study skills. I have created over three strategies that are being considered for publishing. Also as a former graduate student I am blithely aware of what it takes to develop studying skills.

Great Job!

Jeannette is doing a great job with our daughter, Caleigh. She, Cal, looks forward to seeing her and Jeannette is building a rapport with her that provides Caleigh with confidence in addition to her support with her studies. Caleigh likes knowing she has her to ask questions and be somewhat more independent from her parents in studying. Thank you!
