I provide tailored learning and emotional-regulation support for primary-age children online and in person.
What I'm looking for
I provide one-to-one reading, literacy, maths, and executive-functioning support for primary-age children through my freelance practice, tailoring academic and emotional-regulation strategies to each child.
At TASIS Portugal, I supported a Grade 1 student, co-taught lessons, and implemented classroom accommodations. My psychology background and work with neurodivergent children inform my compassionate, strengths-based approach.
