MS, Early Childhood Special & General Education
+1 more
I love all things education, and believe deeply in inspiring children to become confident, enthusiastic learners. I hold a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Special and General Education. After years of classroom experience, I pivoted to teaching 1:1 as a learning specialist and private tutor. I enjoy forging connections with my students and their families, and creating a partnership that ultimately helps each child thrive. I am also certified in the Orton-Gillingham method of reading instruction.
