BA Appalachian State University • Certificate, Special Education Carthage College
9+ Years Tutoring

Certified in special education, Elise designs sessions around how each learner actually processes information — visual cues, hands-on activities, scaffolded instructions, or a mix of all three. She covers core academics like reading, writing, and math while building the self-advocacy skills that let students speak up for what they need in the classroom. Her background in studio arts adds a creative dimension that keeps learners engaged rather than overwhelmed.

1+ Years Tutoring

A PhD in neuropsychology means Bill understands learning differences — ADHD, dyslexia, processing speed challenges — at the neurological level, not just as labels on an IEP. He adapts his teaching to how each student's brain actually processes information, whether that means restructuring how material is presented or building in specific compensatory strategies for memory and attention.

She breaks down academic content using multisensory techniques and scaffolded steps, connecting each lesson to the student's strengths rather than defaulting to one-size-fits-all methods.
