Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome! I am a dedicated and compassionate educator with 22 years of experience teaching children with special educational needs. I currently work as a Special Education Teacher at Hoke County Schools, where I support students in developing their academic skills, confidence, independence, and love for learning. My teaching experience includes working with elementary students in Grades 1–5, including children in self-contained special education classrooms and students with hearing impairments. I hold a Master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling and am a Certified International Child-Centered Play Therapist, with specialized training from the University of North Texas (UNT). My background in special education, counseling, and play therapy allows me to understand each child's individual learning needs, strengths, interests, and challenges.
My tutoring approach is patient, individualized, engaging, and child-centered. I believe every child can learn when given the right support, encouragement, and opportunities to succeed. I tailor my lessons to each student's learning style, pace, and abilities, using hands-on activities, visual aids, games, repetition, positive reinforcement, and play-based strategies to make learning enjoyable and meaningful. My experience working with children with diverse learning needs helps me break challenging concepts into manageable steps while building attention, communication, problem-solving skills, and self-confidence. I also have experience supporting children with hearing impairments and can incorporate my sign language skills when appropriate. My goal is not only to help students improve academically but also to help them recognize their abilities, overcome learning challenges, and feel proud of their progress. I look forward to partnering with families to create a supportive learning experience where every child feels understood, encouraged, and empowered to succeed.
Sincerely,
Your Special Education Tutor
