About Gisela

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is the core of my teaching practice. With three years of experience, I specialize in Art, Special Education, and essential study skills. I believe every student possesses unique strengths, so I prioritize building confidence over simple memorization. By actively observing how you interact with new material, I tailor my approach using visual aids, hands-on activities, and open communication. When concepts feel challenging, I break them into manageable steps and connect lessons to your personal interests to keep you engaged. I value clear, consistent communication with families to ensure we are always working as a collaborative team. Nothing compares to the joy of witnessing your "aha!" moment when a difficult concept finally clicks. I am truly passionate about creating a supportive environment . I have experienced many behavioral challenges and am rbt certified. I work well eith autistic children.
