About Shawana

Empowering elementary students to reach their full potential is the core of my teaching practice. With 10 years of experience, I specialize in English, study skills, and special education. I hold certifications in Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Student accommodation plans (504). My approach focuses on creating a supportive, patient environment where I break down complex concepts into manageable steps. By observing how you interact with new material, I adapt my strategies to ensure you succeed. I celebrate every "aha!" moment and prioritize clear, consistent communication with families to track progress. Whether we meet at your home, a library, or online, I am dedicated to building your confidence and critical thinking skills. I truly love watching students transform challenges into milestones, and I look forward to helping you reach your goals.
