The goal is to build a tool belt from which students can pull throughout their academic careers and in life.

I work with middle school, high school, and college students with a variety of diagnosed and undiagnosed learning issues, including, but not limited to:

Learning Disabilities (LD/SLD)
Expressive and Receptive Language Delays
Dyslexia and related reading disorders
Auditory processing delays
Visual processing delays
ADHD
Executive Function Deficits

Every student has a desire to succeed. However, not every student arrives at success via the same path. I believe it is critical as an educator to look at each student as an individual who possesses a unique combination of skills, challenges, and intellect.

I also subscribe to the philosophy that not every student learns best by sitting in a classroom listening to a lecture. Some students learn auditorily, while others learn visually and/or tactile/kinesthetically.

I use research-based teaching methods to work with each client to build a set of compensatory skills that will serve them best in school and in life.

The beauty of one-on-one sessions is that I can more effectively create an environment for my students that will inevitably foster a real sense of security, calm, and mutual respect.
