I drive student success, bridge learning gaps, and uncover academic potential by working with students 1:1 virtually and in person. As a critical part of my role, I build positive rapport with students while constantly assessing their progress and aligning their needs with research-based curricula and materials. Demonstrating high responsiveness, I provide immediate feedback to parents/guardians regarding students’ strengths and challenges. I also leverage an understanding of applied behavioral analysis to maximize student success.
