I taught for 6 years as a special educator working with students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. Then I worked as a dyslexia specialist for an additional 6 years. Throughout that time I also provided private academic language therapy and tutoring for students with learning differences in reading and writing. I have had the joy of working with many families and educators to support the learning needs of wonderfully creative and intelligent learners. I look forward to designing and sharing resources that will support your unique kiddos.
First, I believe that all students can grow their skills as readers and writers when given the right tools. Second, I use a structured, multisensory approach to learning that allows students to interactively engage with new learning. Third, I am a HUGE fan of technology and I rely on quality virtual materials to engage and meet the needs of diverse learners.
