About Dori

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is the core of my professional practice. With 22 years of experience as a Certified Teacher, I specialize in English, reading, writing, social studies and test preparation. I believe every student possesses unique strengths, so I actively listen and observe to tailor my approach--whether through visual aids, hands-on activities, or interactive discussions. By connecting complex concepts to personal interests and celebrating small wins, I foster a supportive environment where curiosity thrives. I prioritize clear communication with families to ensure we remain a collaborative team. Witnessing that "aha!" moment when a student finally masters a challenging topic remains the most rewarding part of my work. I am comfortable with pets and happy to provide sessions in your home or mine. I truly look forward to partnering with your family to make learning an enjoyable and successful journey.
