About
I am a student-centered educator with a Master’s in Guidance, Special Education, and Administration from Southeastern Louisiana University. I bring over twenty-five years of classroom teaching and two years of one-to-one tutoring. My personal experience overcoming a severe childhood language disorder informs my practice with empathy persistence and evidence-based strategies. I have served learners across regular and special education as well as clients in substance abuse clinics and mental health settings.
Tutoring philosophy
- Relationship first: I build trust and psychological safety so learners feel seen and supported
- Data-informed instruction: I use diagnostics progress monitoring and goal setting to tailor lessons
- Strength-based approach: I leverage interests and prior knowledge to boost engagement and confidence
- Explicit strategy instruction: I teach metacognitive routines self-advocacy and study skills that transfer
- Culturally responsive practice: I adapt materials language and examples to each learner’s context
Who I support
- K–12 students needing targeted support in reading writing math and executive function for grade-to-grade progression
- Adults pursuing literacy GED and workforce readiness including resume writing workplace communication and numeracy
- Cadets and public-safety trainees building report writing conflict de-escalation scenario-based communication and test preparation
Specialized expertise
- Language and literacy: phonemic awareness decoding fluency morphology vocabulary comprehension structured writing
- Special education supports: IEP-aligned goals accommodations progress tracking behavior supports and parent collaboration
- Social-emotional learning: self-regulation growth mindset and resilience skills integrated into academic tasks
- Transition skills: study planning time management note-taking test-taking and real-world communication
How I individualize
- Initial intake: strengths interests current challenges and goals
- Screening: quick checks for reading math and executive skills to locate skill gaps
- Plan: 6–10 week roadmap with measurable targets and session routines
- Instruction: short explicit lessons guided practice cumulative review and application to authentic tasks
- Feedback: clear next steps and at-home micro-practice to build independence
Measurable outcomes I target
- Reading: accuracy rate and comprehension gains with weekly fluency and retell checks
- Writing: organization sentence fluency and mechanics using single-point rubrics
- Math: fact fluency error analysis and problem-solving strategies with mixed review
- Executive function: on-time task completion organized materials and improved study cycles
