Deborah has been teaching for 25 years and tutors students in grades K through 6 in all subject areas. She is endorsed in Sheltered English Immersion and tutors English language learners. She has taught in inclusion classrooms and has worked with students with physical disabilities, ASD, attentional, and social/emotional needs. She also teaches executive functioning skills. She enjoys building stress-management and mindfulness into her instruction and find this supports focus and problem-solving skills. She is experienced in incorporating technology into her instruction as well as providing remote tutoring services. Additionally, she enjoys developing personalized curriculum to meet the specific needs of her students.

Deborah says: “I enjoy teaching the ‘whole child’ – taking their strengths and building on those, including any areas of interest, and filling in needed skills to make them feel confident, focused, and ready! In my school I managed a garden where students planted, composted, harvested and ate organic food, and received the Green Schools Award in 2020. I also enjoy incorporating science and social studies into my teaching, to help children connect with the world around them. I have boy/girl twins, like to travel, exercise, and read. I previously volunteered at Lovelane, a Special Needs horseback riding center, and now volunteer at a food pantry in Maynard. I would love to work with you and your child!”
