About Clare

11-year Teacher With Early Childhood Special Education Certificate Originally from Hawaii, I moved to New York in 2012 after joining Teach For America and taught in the classroom for 11 years. I am a social-emotional learning specialist who focuses on early childhood special education. Over the years, I have privately tutored students ages 2-10 in reading, writing, phonics, expressive language, and math. I am open to both child care and tutoring, but please note that my rates are different for each. My availability is flexible, so let me know what works best for you!
