Hi! I’m Theresa — a Speech-Language Pathologist and experienced reading/language specialist who is passionate about helping students build confidence in their academic skills. I’ve worked across a wide range of educational settings, which allows me to connect with learners of all personalities, backgrounds, and learning styles.
I tutor students in:

-Reading and literacy skills (phonics, decoding, fluency, comprehension)
-Writing and grammar
-Language development (expressive/receptive language support)
-Study skills & organization
-Creating personalized study guides + teaching students how to study
-Homework help across subjects
-Portuguese tutoring (beginner–intermediate)
-Spanish tutoring (elementary–intermediate)

My teaching style is patient, structured, and highly individualized. I break down skills in a way that makes sense for each student and give them the tools they need to be independent learners — not just during our sessions, but in their daily school life.

I’ve seen firsthand how quickly students grow when they understand the strategies behind reading, writing, note-taking, and studying. Whether your learner needs help strengthening their literacy foundation, improving grammar or written expression, building better study habits, or learning a new language, I’m here to support them every step of the way.
Above all, I believe every student can succeed with the right guidance, encouragement, and strategies. I’d love to help your learner feel confident, capable, and proud of their progress.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I have experience supporting a child in my own life with autism, which has given me a personal and compassionate understanding of how to help autistic learners succeed. I use visuals, clear structure, predictable routines, and a very patient approach to help students feel safe and confident. My goal is always to meet each learner where they are, honor their communication style, and support them in a way that feels respectful and empowering. I’m committed to creating a calm, structured, and supportive environment that helps autistic students thrive.

My approach is supportive, patient, and focused on real communication skills that students can use immediately. I enjoy helping learners grow their vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and feel more comfortable using Portuguese in everyday situations.
