Experience: 10 yrs
I am a special education teacher who specializes in academic training in English language arts, math, writing, social studies and science. I enjoy supporting children who are struggling to read and retain fundamentals. I support students in building self esteem, confidence and the ability to problem solve and use tools to grow. I have over 20 years experience in the field of education, 18 of those as a special education teacher. I have taught students k-12 and truly enjoy teaching elementary. I also teach dance and yoga to children and adults.
I had the pleasure of working with Tenika during her time as Director of Springboard Education, where she oversaw an enrichment program focused on academic support, extracurriculars and social development. As a colleague, I witnessed firsthand how deeply she cares about children’s growth, especially those with unique learning needs. Her background in special education shines through in the way she creates safe, supportive, and engaging learning environments. She’s patient, incredibly organized, and knows how to tailor her approach to meet each child’s individual needs. Whether leading staff, planning curriculum, or working one-on-one with students, she always brought a calm, compassionate energy that put families at ease.
