I help struggling students develop essential thinking and learning skills. My specialty is working with gifted and talented individuals who are spatially focused or twice-exceptional, including those on the autism spectrum or with ADHD and attention challenges. As a homework coach, I assist with materials, time, and space management, but my primary focus is teaching students how to take control of their own learning processes and become the boss of their brains.
Listening to the students as they think helps me to understand how they are processing information. From there I can design a plan to help them work through barriers.
I have both a certification in gifted and twice-exceptional teaching with a master's in International Education. I have taught for 30 years, 15 of which were with gifted students.
I currently teach Monday and Tuesday afternoons at $125 per hour. While I primarily work online, I also accept in-person students. For in-person sessions, I require a parent or guardian to be present. Middle and high school students typically meet with me online, which allows for more independence with limited parent or guardian involvement during sessions. After every session, I send a summary email to ensure everyone stays informed and aligned.
