About Emma

I hold a Master's of Teaching and multiple subjects credential from the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute. I have spent 5 years in the classroom, and I am fortunate to have experience teaching students from ages 5 to 14, though the bulk of my teaching experience has been with 5th and 6th graders.

I have experience supporting neurodivergent students (specifically ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and processing differences).

I have participated in professional development to learn strategies to support students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia. I have deep curiosity and interest in the uniqueness of every brain, and I practice and believe in neurodivergent affirming support and instruction.

I offer reading and writing support to students in grades 4th-8th. Because executive functioning and academic skills go hand-in-hand, I can also offer basic EF supports and instruction, like metacognitive reflection, time and materials organization, and self-regulation tools.

During my years in the classroom, I have been fortunate to partner with learning specialists, educational therapists, and neuropsychologists, from whom I learned deeply about the richly faceted minds of my neurodiverse students. I have also gained many strategies for serving those students well. I work hard to specialize my lessons for these students within a whole group setting, and I am free to do so even more effectively in a 1:1 tutoring context.

My teaching is first and foremost relational; children need a rapport of care and comfort to feel brave enough to take on challenges in their learning.

My lesson plans are tailored with my particular students in mind, taking into account how pacing, format, and content will need to be adjusted. My goal is always to suit a particular child's neuro-profile and interests as effectively as I can, creatively combining auditory, visual, and kinesthetic activities into literacy and writing instruction. For me as a teacher, joyful engagement is a goal in and of itself, and also provides a route to greater success in the desired skill areas for my students.

When you reach out, I'll send you an intake form and we'll do a quick consultation to make sure my skill set is a good fit for your student's needs.
