Thank you for inquiring about my services. My philosophy is that every student can learn. I have 30 years of experience as a state certified educator in elementary and special education. I have experience with individualizing instruction based on the child's learning styles and academic needs. An initial assessment will be given to determine this information.

My sessions include hands-on learning, multi-sensory techniques and strategies. I make sure that the child is confident so they feel better about learning. I have experience teaching in person and online. Your child is unique and their instruction will be also.

I am very passionate about teaching kids to read fluently and with comprehension ! Literacy affects all subject areas. It's my job to help each child feel success.

Choosing the right academic coach is very important. I wish you well as you search for the perfect fit. If it turns out to be me, then I look forward to meeting you.

Patient, knowledgeable and truly cares!

Jael is easy to work with and made my daughter feel at ease on her first lesson. My daughter enjoyed her first lesson so much that she is excited for her next lesson. Jael was able to explain in detail where my daughter could improve and even provided some resources so that we can work on at home. I'm looking forward to future sessions.
