About the store
Hi, I’m the creator behind Structured to Learn. I’m a special education teacher with over ten years of experience working with students who are brilliant, hilarious, wildly behind in reading and math, and occasionally hiding under tables.
I have a master’s in Instructional Design and another in ESL, which basically means I’ve spent a lot of time learning how to explain things clearly to people who don’t always want to listen.
One of the hardest parts of teaching SPED and ESL is the lack of age-neutral materials for students who are behind. When you have a seventh grader who doesn’t know how to subtract, it’s hard to hand them a worksheet designed for a third grader without making them feel bad.
That’s why I create leveled resources that work in general ed classrooms, for students who are a little behind, and for students who are years behind. Each resource includes clear directions and visual supports to help students truly understand.
They’re ideal for gen ed teachers managing multiple grade levels in one room, SPED and ESL teachers who need no-fuss, effective materials, and anyone trying to make last-minute copies after an IEP meeting with five minutes to spare before recess ends.

Teaching style
My teaching style is structured and visual because that’s what works for my students and for me. I use clear directions, consistent routines, and supports that actually help kids make sense of things. I’m not into fluff or filler.
I work with students who are behind, sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot. My goal is to give them materials that help them feel capable without making them feel like the work was made for little kids. Even when it’s cute, it’s still respectful and useful for older learners
Awards & shining teacher moments
My proudest moments aren’t awards.
They’re when a student finally reads a full sentence without help. When a kid says, “Oh… I get it now.” When someone tells me they want me to be their teacher again next year. And when a student I wasn’t even sure liked me was overheard telling another, “She’s nice, but she makes us work.”
I’ve taught math with pencils that had the erasers chewed off, no real curriculum because there isn’t one for sixth and seventh graders who still can’t subtract or multiply, and found ways to explain fractions to kids who still count on their fingers.
That’s what I’m proud of.
My own education history
I have a bachelor’s in Elementary and Special Education, plus two master’s degrees in Instructional Design and ESL. I’m certified in Elementary Ed, Special Ed, and ESL, with an extra endorsement in Science. I’m also trained in Orton-Gillingham. Most of what I really know, though, comes from years in the classroom figuring out how to teach kids who are behind, hiding under a desk, or staring into space like they’re waiting for Buzz Aldrin to land.
