About
I am a dual certified in elementary and special education. I have 15 years of tutoring experience along with 10 years of special education teaching experience. I have taught students with special needs from ages 4-21 inclusively. I have a multitude of experience in a variety of disabilities including but not limited to Autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, downe syndrome, cerebral palsy, emotional disturbances, spinal bifida. I have held the titles of autistic support, emotional support, life skills support and reading interventionist teacher. With my wide range of experience, I believe my services will stand out amongst the rest.
I am passionate about educating and seeing progress in my students academically, socially, and emotionally. I am currently a life skills support teacher looking to support individuals further by providing 1:1 attention or small group instruction through the forms of tutoring. I truly believe every moment can be a teachable moment and the world is full learning opportunities. Seeing the students light up and that "aha moment" is one of the best moments for me as a teacher/tutor.

I started tutoring in a neighborhood tutoring program in college while working for my dual certification in elementary and special education along with a dual major in education and psychology. After graduation, I worked as a paraprofessional, 1:1, continued tutoring, and was a swim coach for a high school team. 2012 was when I officially started my teaching career as a special educator and held the titles of autistic support teacher, emotional support teacher, reading specialist, and life skills support teacher. I have worn many hats and have taught in urban, rural and suburban areas.
