After earning my masters degree in Special Education, I worked in middle school as a teacher for 10+ years and then for 5+ years as a learning specialist at a private high school. Learning Specialist is a one-on-one tutoring style program working with students who are neurodiverse, most typically ADHD inattentive type and combined type. I supported students in all their enrolled high school college prep classes. I have supported students writing research papers, close reading, and preparing for their first traditional exam blocks.
