About Doran


Bio

I am a creative and engaging educator with 2 years experience as a para-professional/TA at a middle school. I worked directly with SPED students to help them to better understand class topics. I know how much a little focused and individualized attention can help students grasp previously confusing topics. I pride myself on my ability to think outside the box and present difficult topics in new and engaging ways.

I am a creative and engaging educator with 2 years experience as a para-professional/TA at a middle school. I worked directly with SPED students to help them to better understand class topics. I know how much a little focused and individualized attention can help students grasp previously confusing topics. I pride myself on my ability to think outside the box and present difficult topics in new and engaging ways.
Before working as a TA, I took education courses in college. Sadly, I had to put my own education on hold for personal reasons. However, that allowed me to explore the field I am most passionate about: education. Most of my experience is with students with developmental disabilities. I am incredibly passionate about helping young people especially those with developmental disabilities strengthen emotional regulation skills, communication skills, and build their sense of autonomy. I hope to support the improvement of these skills through academic assistance.
I am confident in most areas of study and am eager to assist students in their academic endeavors. I am most confident in math topics up to Geometry. I am also very confident in topics related to Statistics and Logic. I am happy to assist students of all ages with any of their writing needs. I am a detail-oriented and reliable editor who is ready to help get essays and other assignments ready to turn in. I am happy to help with other English topics such as literary analysis, reading, grammar, and spelling. My best subject is history. I am ready to help students connect past events to today and understand why knowing the past is important.
I believe that with the right support and accommodations almost any student can understand even the most difficult topics (in their own way). I want to be the support that helps you go from lost and confused to confident and clearheaded.

ADHD

ADHD

I have ADHD and have learned lots of skills to help manage it. I have attended study skills coaches and courses dedicated to helping with executive dysfunction. I worked as a para educator/TA in special education. I worked with many children with ADHD on implementing study skills and navigating classes and homework with ADHD and other learning differences and disabilities. I am happy to body double, introduce new study skills and techniques, and help organize and plan for the future.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I worked directly with autistic students as a middle school para educator from January 2024 to October 2025. In my time as a para, I received training in and implemented strategies based on ABA. I even completed the 40 hour RBT training online and did a couple in person trainings, but a glitch kept me from going on to get my RBT certification. I worked both as a one on one para with a student with ASD and in a behavior room with multiple students with ASD during the summer of 2025. I also worked at camp for kids with disabilities including Autism. This camp paired campers up one-on-one with counselors. I was paired with several campers with ASD as well as other disabilities.
