Donna

Certified Tutor

I love teaching and believe all students can learn if given the correct tools. I have my Masters degree in K-6 Elementary Education. I am certified in K-6th Elementary Education, K-12th Grade Adaptive Curriculum, and K-12th Grade Special Education. I previously taught Social Emotional Life Skills Class and General Curriculum K-5th Grade. I taught K-6th Grade Special Education for 8 years. I have taught grades PreK-7th Grade.

I am going on my 13th year teaching in public education. I am also obtaining my Meditation and Mindfulness Coaching Certification through Yoga Alliance along with my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training and Trauma Informed Yoga Certification.

Through my education I have studied a variety of disabilities and learning styles. I love to teach and want students to love learning.

I have tutored privately and through the school system. I have taught homebound and general education as well.
I love teaching Social Emotional Skills, ADHD management, Behavior, Math and Reading, Phonics, Reading Fluency, Comprehension, Study Skills, Test Prep and more.
Why pick me to tutor? I do not accept many students so I can be completely focused on meeting my students learning goals.

I want to ensure all lessons are student-centered and differentiated so that all students get the support they need. I thrive on open communication and working as a team in order to achieve the goals you have set for yourself or your student.

I am ready to meet with you and help you or your student. Feel free to reach out to me and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
