About Kathleen

I am an educator with 8 years of experience, beginning as a 1st teacher in Queens, NY, and expanding into special education across various settings. I am passionate about differentiated instruction, ensuring all students, receive personalized support. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that you must first teach the child that he is loved, only then can he learn all other things. Building strong, trusting relationships is key to creating a safe environment where students feel empowered to take risks and grow. I am skilled in adapting lessons to meet the diverse needs of students, using various strategies and technologies to foster engagement and success. As a parent, I bring a unique understanding of children's needs and approach each child with empathy and care. My greatest joy is watching students develop new skills and overcome challenges with perseverance. I am committed to ongoing professional growth and creating a positive impact in students' lives.
