I developed and implemented Individualized Education Programs (IEP) for countless students with learning disabilities, ADHD, ASD, and other academic challenges. I became the Special Education Liaison for my school and was a parent advocate. I believe parents play a vital role in the IEP process and supporting the success of their children.

​

During this time, I also worked as a Hebrew School teacher and pioneered Jewish Special Education programs that gave access to religious school for children with special needs. Many of these children would go on to read Hebrew and become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah.

​

When I retired from the classroom, I continued my passion for teaching by tutoring students from preschool to adult in most academic subject areas. After working with a young lady with learning disabilities whose native language is Spanish, I began teaching English as a second language (ESL). Many of my English language learners include children and adults who speak Mandarin, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Hebrew, etc.

​

I pride myself on the ability to motivate and inspire my students to set goals and reach higher. Each time one of my students achieves success, a newfound confidence and self-esteem is gained. I instill a love of learning and encourage my students to become ambitious and push harder with great fortitude. By partnering with my student’s school and family, together we help develop a confident, independent, and lifelong learner.
