Details

As a Literacy Tutor with specialized experience supporting students with learning disabilities, I bring a trauma-informed, student-centered approach to every lesson. As a teacher at a special needs school, I provided individualized literacy instruction using Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to ensure accessibility for all learners.

- Delivered personalized reading and writing support tailored to each student’s unique learning profile, including those with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning differences.
- Conducted diagnostic literacy assessments and implemented targeted interventions to improve phonics, fluency, comprehension, and written expression.
- Created and followed Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), integrating academic, behavioral, and social-emotional goals into literacy instruction.
- Applied trauma-informed strategies to build trust, reduce anxiety, and foster a safe learning environment that promotes academic confidence.
- Integrated technology and visual supports to reinforce literacy concepts and increase engagement.
- Supported students in developing executive function and study skills essential for independent learning and long-term success.
- Promoted social-emotional growth by embedding SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) into literacy sessions, helping students build self-awareness and communication skills.

Whether your child needs foundational literacy support or is looking to build confidence in reading and writing, I tailor every session to meet their needs and learning style.
