Hello! I'm a licensed Special Education teacher with a Master's degree in Special Education (M.Ed.) and over six years of experience supporting elementary students with diverse learning needs. I specialize in working with students with dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities, executive functioning challenges, autism, and other learning differences through individualized, evidence-based instruction. My teaching experience has been shaped by Massachusetts public schools, including Cambridge Public Schools, a district recognized for its commitment to educational excellence and high-quality professional development. Working alongside exceptional educators has strengthened my expertise in evidence-based instruction, structured literacy, and individualized learning.
Reading is my greatest passion. I provide explicit, systematic instruction in phonics, decoding, fluency, reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, and writing using structured literacy principles. My teaching is informed by professional development in LETRS, the Wilson Reading System, Orton-Gillingham methodologies, and other evidence-based practices.
As a special education teacher, I do more than help with homework. I assess each student's strengths, tailor instruction to their individual needs, monitor progress, and adapt lessons to maximize growth. I also provide support in elementary writing, math, executive functioning, study skills, and homework.
Parents often tell me their children genuinely look forward to our sessions because I create a positive, supportive environment where students feel safe, challenged, and successful. Whether your child needs specialized intervention, targeted skill development, or homework support, I look forward to helping them become a confident, independent learner.
