About
I have worked successfully with students with learning challenges in writing, reading, math, and many other areas.
My focus is on both academic, developmental, cognitive growth, and self-regulation.
I have been working in my field for 24 years. My background is in child therapy and educational therapy. My professional experience has been in special education, early intervention, social emotional learning, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, ASD, dyspraxia, executive functioning, assessment, math and reading difficulties, and more.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I typically have a thorough phone consult with the parent of the tutor. If the parent is open, I review any recent assessment notes. The parent and I review the short and long terms goals. Once I meet the learner, I use the first few sessions for the two of us to establish an individuated and collaborative schedule of the session. As time passes, the sessions will become reasonably more challenging in order to meet goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Making Math Real
Orton Gillingham
Structured Word Inquiry
Behavior Therapy
ADHD, ASD, Neurodiverse learners not otherwise specified
Executive Functioning
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing ranges from $90-125/session depending on frequency and need.
How did you get started teaching?
I began my practice as an early intervention child therapist with incorporated cognitive development and learning skills in order to help prepare each client for full inclusion at school. As I continued in my practice, I recognized consistent gaps and difficulties in my clients learning as they progressed in school. I soon became an educational therapist.
What types of students have you worked with?
Most of my practice consists of neurodiverse learners. That is, learners who struggle with certain subjects at school that might even affect their behavior. The learners may or may not have received a diagnosis, such as, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD, ASD, etc.
