Substitute teaching across K-12 classrooms exposed Angela to a wide range of learning differences, from ADHD to dyslexia to processing disorders, and taught her to adapt explanations on the fly. She breaks assignments into smaller, clearly sequenced steps and uses multisensory techniques — verbal, visual, hands-on — to match how each student actually processes information. Her patience and genuine connection with students show in her 5.0 rating.

Update: I completed a two-month full-time guest teacher assignment teaching World Languages Spanish to high school students (9th-12th) Spanish 1/2/3. By utilizing a student-centered learning approach, cultural competence, and equitable teaching, I support students with pedagogy rooted in inquiry, hypothesis, information gathering, problem-solving, and action. I encourage all students to adopt an open-minded approach, and provide support to gifted students, students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and Multilanguage Learners with equity. "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin I am in my second year of grad school, pursuing a dual master's degree in K-8 Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education (Mild to Moderate Disabilities). With my education grad studies and BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), I synthesize creativity and best practices in education to find creative ways of supporting learners. My pursuit and purpose is to guide with compassion and enthusiasm. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning. By promoting student agency, students empower themselves to achieve in academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development. As an ADHD adult, I enjoy working with ADHD students and adults experiencing anxiety + depression. What is effortful for our neurodivergent brains is also our superpower! In my career, I have lived and worked in NYC as an editorial photographer, actor, and dancer. I lived in Berlin and pursued performance art + music while honing my communications skills in digital art + copywriting in Marketing. In Los Angeles, I succeeded as a commercial and theatrical actor. My skill set is suited for collaboration with all students to support and develop their passion for learning, exploration, and critical thinking. I live in southeastern Washington State and teach in northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington State public school districts. I support students in the following subjects: Elementary School Reading Elementary School Math AP English High School English Middle School English Middle School Math Digital Media & Graphic Design Fine Arts & Filmmaking Creative Writing Study Skills & Organization German 1/2 Spanish 1/2/3 Spanish Language Arts English Language Learners English Language Development Algebra 1/2 Special Education (all subjects) High School Math "We all have ability.

During her year as a teaching assistant in a first-grade classroom, Molly worked directly with students with special needs, adapting lessons and tracking individual progress toward IEP goals. Her dual major in elementary and special education gives her formal training in differentiated instruction, multisensory learning strategies, and behavior support frameworks. She understands how to modify materials so that a student can access the same content their peers are learning, just through a different pathway.

As a state-certified teacher with special education experience, Marina adapts lessons to match each learner's processing style — whether that means breaking multi-step directions into smaller chunks, using visual supports for abstract concepts, or building in movement breaks that reset focus. Her UCLA background in public health sharpened her understanding of how environment and individual needs shape learning outcomes.

Heather's psychology background gives her real insight into how different learners process information — whether a student needs material broken into smaller chunks, presented visually, or reinforced through repetition. She's especially effective with kids who get frustrated easily, building their confidence alongside their skills in reading, math, or writing. Rated 5.0 by families she's worked with.

Rosemary's graduate work in occupational therapy included extensive training in adaptive learning strategies, sensory processing, and task analysis — the clinical side of what special education looks like in practice. She volunteers regularly with the Down syndrome community, giving her hands-on experience tailoring instruction to different cognitive and developmental profiles. That combination means she doesn't just know accommodations exist; she knows how to implement them in real learning moments.

Katie's Master of Social Work gives her structured training in individualized support, behavioral strategies, and understanding how learning differences like ADHD, dyslexia, and processing disorders affect a student's experience in the classroom. She adapts lessons to each student's pace and learning style, breaking tasks into smaller steps and using multisensory techniques to reinforce concepts. That combination of clinical knowledge and teaching experience makes her especially effective with students who need more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Annie's graduate training in counseling psychology gave her direct experience with IEPs, learning accommodations, and the cognitive frameworks behind conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, and processing disorders. She adapts lesson pacing, breaks tasks into smaller chunks, and uses multi-sensory techniques tailored to each learner's profile — not a one-size-fits-all script.

Every learner processes information differently — some through auditory explanation, some through visual mapping, others through hands-on activity — and Harry builds each session around identifying what actually works for that student. His background in theater and education at Northwestern trained him to read an audience and adapt in real time, a skill that translates directly to adjusting pacing, modality, and complexity for students with diverse learning needs.

A psychology degree gave Maggie a deep understanding of how learning differences — from ADHD to processing disorders — affect the way students absorb and retain information. She adapts lessons using multi-sensory techniques, scaffolded instructions, and frequent check-ins that keep students engaged without overwhelming them. Her approach is patient and structured, building skills at a pace that respects each learner's needs.

Every learner processes information differently, and Jessica adapts her teaching style accordingly — breaking concepts into smaller steps, using visual organizers, or finding alternative explanations when the standard one doesn't click. Her science and economics training means she can support students across multiple subjects while keeping the focus on building confidence and independence. She's patient, structured, and attentive to what each individual student actually needs to move forward.

Teaching on an ESL elementary campus meant Madison regularly adapted lessons for students with vastly different learning needs, processing speeds, and communication styles. She builds individualized approaches — breaking instructions into smaller steps, using visual and auditory reinforcement, and adjusting in real time — so that each student can access the material at their own pace without feeling left behind.

Certified in special education, Elise designs sessions around how each learner actually processes information — visual cues, hands-on activities, scaffolded instructions, or a mix of all three. She covers core academics like reading, writing, and math while building the self-advocacy skills that let students speak up for what they need in the classroom. Her background in studio arts adds a creative dimension that keeps learners engaged rather than overwhelmed.

Colin is a certified special educator whose classroom experience spans multiple grade levels and learning profiles, from students with dyslexia and ADHD to those on the autism spectrum. He designs each session around a student's specific IEP goals and learning style — visual aids for one learner, movement-based activities for another — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. That individualized structure builds both academic skills and the confidence students need to advocate for themselves in the classroom.
