I am blessed to have experience with multiple educational models: dyslexia services, English immersion, online multisensory Orton Gillingham reading/writing and math, French Consulate Certified Immersion School, AMI Montessori, Talented and Gifted, Life Skills from Elementary through Adult Transition. I am passionate about guiding students to make their best progress across subject areas, seeing the joy in confidence and achievement as we work together over time.

I have served as lead teacher, certified as a general and special educator in biology for Early Childhood through 8th grade. Particular focus was on anatomy, health, biology, genetics, project based learning and STEAM. Lessons are multisensory, interactive and student-directed.

My philosophy of education holds steadfast to the needs of the whole student:

Welcoming approach - proven inclusion expertise

Student-directed learning - let me know your goals and passions

Social-emotional learning - modify our work or reschedule on an unexpectedly long day

Tailored instruction - lessons include scaffolding exactly to your individual needs to maximize success

Diagnostic & prescriptive - data informed to the progress you continually make
