I have taught all levels of math from grades 6 to 12 (except calculus) and have also taught 10th and 11th grade ELA. I am a special education teacher so I am used to differentiating materials to match the ability level and strengths of the students I am working with. I try to build lessons that address specific skill gaps and areas of improvement. I enjoy working with young people more than I like working with adults most of the time. I think all students deserve to have access to a high-quality education where they can learn critical thinking as well as life skills to prepare them to be amazing humans in the real world.

  • Auditory Impairment (AI) – refers to a hearing loss not categorized by deafness.
