I am a certified Special Education teacher with over five years of experience working with students across grades K–12 in subjects including math, science, reading, and writing. I have taught in a variety of settings—self-contained classrooms, ICT/co-teaching environments, and small-group resource room instruction—which has allowed me to support students with a wide range of learning needs, abilities, and personalities. These experiences taught me how to quickly identify what each learner needs and how to meet them where they are.

My approach is patient, structured, and highly individualized. I break assignments into clear, manageable steps, model strategies students can use independently, and create a supportive environment where they feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. I have extensive experience working with students with IEPs, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and processing challenges, and I love helping them find routines and tools that make school feel less overwhelming.

Whether your child needs academic support, executive functioning help, homework guidance, or confidence-building, my goal is to provide steady, compassionate support while teaching practical skills they can use in and out of the classroom. Every student can grow with the right guidance, and I’m here to help them take those steps successfully.
