Elementary Teacher-Specializing in Supporing Neurodivergent Pop.

Leslie E.

Hello there! My name is Leslie and I am delighted to be part of your child's learning journey. I specialize in supporting the neurodivergent community.

Having worked extensively with the neurodivergent population, I understand the unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles associated with conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. My experience has given me valuable insights into tailoring educational strategies to meet the specific needs of each student, embracing their individuality and celebrating their abilities.

I believe in the power of building strong rapport and trust with my students. I create a safe and accepting space where my students can feel understood, validated, and supported. By fostering open communication and actively listening to their perspectives, I can adapt my teaching methods to suit their needs.

Patience, flexibility, and empathy are integral to my tutoring approach.

Beyond academic subjects, I also prioritize the development of essential life skills, such as self-regulation, executive functioning, and social interaction. I incorporate strategies and tools into my tutoring sessions that support students in these areas, empowering them to become independent learners and confident individuals.

In my work, I am committed to maintaining a collaborative relationship with students, their families, and other professionals involved in their care. I believe that a holistic approach, where all stakeholders actively participate, is crucial in promoting the overall well-being and success of all students.

I am dedicated to ongoing professional development and staying informed about the latest research, interventions, and best practices. By doing so, I can continually refine my skills and provide the most effective support for my students.

Thank you for considering me as a tutor for your learner.
