About Susan

I am a highly experienced special education professional who is committed to ethical practice, individualized support, and measurable growth. I bring evidence-based strategies, clear communication, evidence-based practices and compassionate guidance to help students build confidence, independence, and lasting academic success.

About the lesson

My approach as a tutor is grounded in special education best practices, strengths-based instruction, and an understanding that students learn best when they feel supported, understood, and empowered. I focus on helping students develop the skills behind learning—the executive functioning and study strategies that allow them to become confident, independent learners.

Teaching Method and Techniques
I use explicit, structured instruction combined with individualized coaching. Lessons are broken into manageable steps, with clear modeling, guided practice, and opportunities for reflection. I incorporate:
• Visual supports, checklists, and organizers
• Explicit instruction in planning, organization, time management, and task initiation
• Metacognitive strategies to help students understand how they learn
• Real-world application of skills to current coursework
• Positive reinforcement and strengths-based feedback

Instruction is always flexible and responsive, adjusting pace, tools, and strategies based on the learner’s needs.

A Typical Lesson Plan
Each session is purposeful and predictable while remaining responsive to student needs:
1. Check-in and goal review – Discuss successes, challenges, and priorities
2. Skill focus – Target one executive functioning or study skill (e.g., organizing assignments, breaking down tasks, test preparation, note-taking)
3. Application – Apply the skill directly to the student’s current work or upcoming assignments
4. Practice and coaching – Guided practice with fading support
5. Reflection and planning – Identify strategies to use independently before the next session

Families and students leave sessions with clear strategies they can immediately use.

What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What distinguishes my work is my deep background in special education, executive functioning, and learning differences. I bring decades of experience supporting students with diverse needs, including ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and anxiety related to school performance. I focus not just on completing assignments, but on teaching students how to learn, advocate for themselves, and build independence. I also partner closely with families when appropriate to ensure strategies carry over beyond tutoring sessions.

Who the Lessons Are For
My tutoring services are ideal for:
• Upper elementary, middle school, high school, and college students
• Students with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, autism, or learning differences
• Students who struggle with organization, time management, task completion, or studying
• Learners who are capable but need structured support to reach their potential

Lessons are individualized, neurodiversity-affirming, and designed to meet each student where they are.
