About Lena

Hello! I am in my 10th year as a kindergarten teacher and truly believe there is no better job in the world. It is truly amazing to witness the growth these tiny humans exhibit in a school year- academically, socially, and emotionally. I have a Master's in early childhood (PreK-3rd), as well as special education. I have extensive experience working with students with special needs, particularly those with ASD. I am very passionate about teaching the whole child, with the belief that social emotional learning is just as critical as academics. While I teach full time, I am interested in tutoring on weeknights and/or weekends. I am comfortable with coming to your home or meeting at a public place (e. g., public library). My expertise is foundational reading and writing skills.
