High Impact Tutoring (H.I.T.)
This is personalized, one-on-one support for children who need learning to feel more concrete, connected, and confidence-building.
I support students through literacy, math, SEL, executive functioning, and hands-on learning. Depending on the child, sessions may focus on decoding, fluency, number sense, organization, or kitchen-based tutoring through Baking 101: Recipes as Curriculum.
In this model, a recipe becomes the lesson. Children read with purpose, measure, follow steps, problem-solve, regulate, and build confidence while making something real. Cooking and baking are not extras; they are how the learning happens.
Every session is grounded in relationship, neurodiverse-informed practice, emotional regulation, and a clear understanding of how neurodivergent learners process information. Sessions may take place in-home, at school, virtually, or through hands-on kitchen-based learning when appropriate.
School Partnerships
I partner with schools and organizations to strengthen how they support children through literacy, regulation, hands-on learning, and systems that actually work.
My work brings together formal teaching experience, SPED-informed practice, Science of Reading-based literacy support, and the creativity of the kitchen. I help educators reach students who are capable but overwhelmed, disengaged, or not fully supported by traditional instruction.
Together, we clarify what is working, identify where students are getting missed, and build practical supports within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports. This work is especially valuable for schools deepening Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports, expanding hands-on learning, and better serving neurodivergent learners.
Coaching & Consulting
I work with parents, educators, and organizations who want to support children with more clarity, compassion, and intention.
Sometimes that looks like helping a parent make sense of an IEP, navigate school communication, or understand why their child is struggling even when they are doing “all the right things.” Other times, it means working with educators or teams to strengthen literacy, regulation, executive functioning, and student support in ways that are practical and sustainable.
My approach brings together over 15 years of formal teaching experience, SPED-informed practice, Science of Reading-based literacy support, systems thinking, and lived experience as a disabled, neurodivergent educator. I understand how overwhelming school systems can feel for families, teachers, and students.
This work is not about quick fixes. It is about stepping back, clarifying what is really happening, and building a path forward that feels more concrete, compassionate, and human-centered.
Speaking & Workshops
I lead workshops, talks, and hands-on learning experiences for families, schools, organizations, and community spaces that want learning to feel more practical, joyful, and connected to real life.
A central part of my work is Recipes as Curriculum: the idea that cooking and baking can teach literacy, math, science, executive functioning, emotional regulation, confidence, and life skills all at once. Through offerings like Baking 101: Recipes as Curriculum, I show how a simple recipe can become a powerful learning experience for children.
My workshops bring together formal teaching experience, SPED-informed practice, Science of Reading-based literacy support, disability wisdom, and the creativity of the kitchen. Whether I’m working with parents, educators, or a larger audience, my goal is to help people leave with clearer language, practical tools, and a new way to see what learning can look like.
Not sure which option is right?
Most people don’t know exactly what they need when they first reach out.
That’s completely normal.
We can start with a conversation, talk through what’s going on, and decide together what kind of support makes the most sense.
