Support for Students with Learning Differences & Multilingual Learners

I work with two kinds of students most often — multilingual learners adjusting to English-language instruction, and students with ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences navigating a system built for the average learner. Both groups are capable. Both are usually missing the kind of support that meets them where they actually are.

Sessions are one-on-one or small-group (3+ students, group rate) — remote or in-person in Houston.

Many multilingual students speak English comfortably in conversation but hit a wall with academic English — the vocabulary, sentence structures, and writing conventions school expects but rarely teaches directly.

Multilingual & ESL Learners

That gap shows up as a lag in reading and writing even when speaking is strong, and it can quietly erode a student's confidence to speak up or contribute in class.

I work on academic language alongside reading and writing, so students stop feeling like they're translating in their head before every assignment — and start trusting their own voice in English, spoken and written.

Students with ADHD, Dyslexia & Learning Differences

Neurodivergent students or students that learn differently are always welcome in my classroom.

The issue usually isn't ability—it's that writing and reading can feel overwhelming before a student even starts. Much of our educational system is standardized, and that’s a huge problem.

A system, curriculum, or lesson built around one pace and one method doesn't leave much room for personalized learning, true accommodations, or additional support.

I bring structure, confidence-building, and executive-function support into sessions — breaking work into manageable steps, building in the organization a student's brain doesn't supply on its own — paired with reading strategies suited to how a dyslexic brain processes text.

None of it works without patience. Sessions move at the student's pace, not a clock's, and there's no judgment for needing to slow down.

How I Work

Families often reach out when they can tell their child needs more than homework help, but they are not sure exactly what kind of support will make the biggest difference.

I provide one-on-one English tutoring that helps students strengthen reading, writing, and academic language in a way that is clear, structured, and individualized. My goal is not just to help with assignments, but to understand where the difficulty is coming from and build the skills that lead to greater independence over time.

Many of the students I work with are bright, capable, and not fully reflected by their performance in school. They need support that is more targeted, more thoughtful, and better aligned with how they learn. That is the kind of work I do.

Remote and In-Person Tutoring

I work with students remotely in Houston and across the U.S.

Remote tutoring works well for many students because it is consistent, flexible, and easy to fit into busy schedules. It also allows me to work with families throughout Houston without the limitations of location.

For some families in the Houston area, in-person sessions may be possible depending on scheduling and location.

For some students, broad English support is the right starting point. Others may need more targeted help with Writing Support or Reading Support. If organization and follow-through are part of the challenge, ADHD Coaching may also be helpful.
