About Me
As a Master's-level Special Education educator (University of West Georgia) with 5+ years of experience, I specialize in unlocking the potential of students who learn differently. My expertise spans elementary literacy and math to AP English Language, allowing me to provide high-level academic support through a lens of specialized instruction. I do not just teach subjects; I teach students how to navigate their neurodivergence. My approach integrates academic goals with essential life skills, including emotional regulation, frustration management, and executive functioning. I am an expert in implementing IEP and 504 accommodations, using differentiated strategies like visual mapping and scaffolded tasks to turn frustration into achievement. I foster a supportive environment where every learner feels valued, building the lasting confidence and independence they need to succeed.
Hobbies & Interests
["Assistant Volleyball Coach: I bring my coaching background into tutoring by breaking down \"game-day\" challenges into manageable drills, focusing on building a student’s confidence and mastering the fundamentals.","Gardening & Cultivation: My love for gardening has taught me that every learner grows at their own pace. I bring that same level of patience, consistency, and individualized care to every session to help my students truly flourish.","Family-Oriented Mentorship: Valuing family means I prioritize clear communication and a supportive, \"team\" environment. I strive to make my sessions feel like a safe space where students feel comfortable asking any question."]
