Hello! I am a Colorado native with an associates of science from Red Rocks. I've worked a lot of jobs, from maid to cake decorator to, most recently, full time small-group math instructor with many of the responsibilities of a classroom teacher. My favorite thing about working with students is seeing that moment where they realize they've just done something they thought they couldn't do, and are smarter than they think. This is what drew me to math education, especially as someone who struggled with math until being diagnosed with ADHD in college. My personal experience means I am very prepared to help other people learn - if one strategy d

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.

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

What is special education tutoring?

Special education tutors help students with mild to severe cognitive, emotional, or physical disabilities. Special needs tutors modify the general education curriculum to meet the child's individual needs and involve themselves in each student's social and behavioral development.

What is disability in special education?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) identifies 13 disability categories where special education should be provided.

  • Auditory Impairment (AI) – refers to a hearing loss not categorized by deafness.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – mainly affects a child's social and communication skills and behavior.
  • Deafness – covers kids who can't hear most or all sounds, even with a hearing aid.

  • Emotional Disturbance (ED) – various mental health issues such as anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.
  • Intellectual Disability (ID) – covers disabilities such as below-average intellectual abilities, poor communication or social skills, and poor self care. One example is down syndrome.
  • Multiple Impairments (MI) – a child with multiple disabilities in this list.
  • Orthopedic Impairment (OI) – covers impairments in kids who lack function or ability in their bodies, such as cerebral palsy.
