Tutoring Approach:

I provide one-on-one support to ensure students can access their academic targets, have their emotional regulatory needs met, and encourage the development of social communication skills. I incorporate targets from IEPs, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language, and personal goals with a holistic approach to tutoring. My philosophy is that happy, regulated children can access their learning goals, so my sessions are fun and engaging, making sure to be student focused and include their interests.
