About

I’m an online educator with 9 years of experience providing individualized instruction to hundreds of children, teens, and adults across the U.S. and internationally. I specialize in reading, structured literacy, phonics, spelling, writing, elementary and middle school math, algebra, ESL, and conversational Spanish.I have completed Orton-Gillingham Academy training and am TEFL certified. I have extensive experience supporting learners with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, IEPs, learning differences, and academic skill gaps, as well as students seeking enrichment and test preparation.My approach is patient, structured, interactive, and highly individualized. I identify where understanding breaks down and use explicit instruction, visuals, games, movement, real-world examples, pattern recognition, and guided practice. My students have strengthened reading, spelling, essay writing, mathematical reasoning, test performance, confidence, and independence.I adapt lessons to each learner’s age, ability, interests, and learning style. My goal is not simply to complete assignments, but to build genuine understanding, stronger academic habits, and skills learners can confidently apply on their own.
