20 Years Supporting Learners with Learning Differences
Tutoring starts with relationships.
Before any instruction begins, your learner needs to feel safe — safe enough to try, safe enough to fail, safe enough to discover that their brain isn't broken. It just works differently.
I work with the whole learner — mind, emotion, and body — because a learner who can't regulate can't learn, and a strategy that ignores the whole person only goes so far.
