"I am the one."
I say that with confidence as a veteran educator who has spent 25 years mastering the "gift of helping." Since I was a teenager, teaching has been my calling, and I have been a dedicated advocate for student success in Michigan across public, charter, suburban, and global online tutoring and school systems. I hold a Master’s degree in Special Education with a specialized focus in Autism, alongside Michigan certifications in K-8 classrooms. This journey has given me a sophisticated understanding of how to unlock the potential in every child. I don't just teach curriculum; I build the confidence students need to become the leaders of their own learning. I love what I do.
My instructional approach is a high-energy commitment to amazing results. As a former reading coach and ELA specialist, I utilize proven, evidence-based methods to bridge literacy gaps, specializing in phonics, comprehension, and evidence-based writing to master state testing. I am a techie who thrives in the digital age. I have served as a schoolwide liaison for ClassDojo and integrate advanced AI tools like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT to create personalized lessons. Whether I am leading a classroom or providing one-on-one virtual sessions, my goal is to provide a firm, consistent, and fun environment where academic struggle is transformed into mastery.
In my last 6 years of 100% remote instruction, I have honed the art of online engagement by including my parents’ advice and knowledge of their child, and incorporating my students' own special interests—proving that distant learning is no obstacle to a life-changing educational connection. I specialize in supporting students with ADHD, Autism, and reading hurdles by breaking down complex concepts into manageable, exciting milestones. By combining decades of veteran wisdom with modern technical agility, I provide a tutoring experience that is deeply individualized. I am passionate about helping students using fun gamification and relevant activities—children love me.
