Hello! I am excited to help your child excel in math and feel confident with new concepts and math vocabulary. My interest is building a solid foundation of understanding of math concepts in order for students to apply known strategies and solve problems with confidence. We will take risks and learn how to talk about math. I also use visuals and stories to make math more relatable for all learning styles.

Hello! I am excited to help your child excel in math and feel confident with new concepts and math vocabulary. My interest is building a solid foundation of understanding of math concepts in order for students to apply known strategies and solve problems with confidence.

I am a 15-year veteran special education teacher working with 2nd through 9th grades. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Secondary education. Later, I graduated with Highest Honors from my Master’s degree program in Special Education. I am a member of both the Psi Chi and Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society. I hold certifications in Special Education (K-12) in both Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. I have specialized in students with Specific Learning Disabilities, behavioral challenges and emotional dysregulation. My experience includes working in public schools, charter schools and, in addition to my regular teaching job, I have been tutoring online for over 5 years. I currently teach full-time as a Learning Support teacher, teaching Algebra 1 and Study Skills.
My online tutoring experiences have focused on supporting students from grade K to 9th in mathematics. Using warm-ups, visual models, guided practice and a slow release to independent work, my students learn to take risks, self-monitor their responses and conceptualize math in new ways.
In my spare time I enjoy walking my dog, roaming antique shops and thrift stores and spending time with friends. I look forward to meeting you and your child to make math a more accessible and successful subject!
