About the store
I currently work as an academic and EF coach, and I run a literacy tutoring business. I taught special education for 10 years. I spent 8 years in a partially sub-separate program teaching my students ELA, Math, and Executive Functioning strategies. I also helped them review the material from their general education classes and prepare for tests. Prior to that, I taught students ages 18-22 with severe special needs in a substantially separate setting.
