Hello!

My name is Nadia and I am thrilled at the opportunity to create a partnership with you.

As an educator, I am passionate about making the students I work with feel seen as a whole-person. I use the relationship I build with your child to individualize my lessons and to help students feel safe as we explore what many might consider to be the most challenging parts of their day (reading and writing).

Outside of teaching, I adore spending quality time with my friends and my family. I have a dog named Sonny who I love to play fetch with on weekend afternoons. Baking, hiking, and drawing (a newer hobby that I'm exploring!) are other activities that have brought me joy lately.

If you feel that we might form a positive partnership to support the growth of your child, please feel free to contact me for more information! I am always happy to chat and explore the possibility of teaming up with caregivers and parents to support what's in the best interest of their child.

Experience :

• I am an OG tutor, certified at the Associate Level.
• I received my OG Associate training and completed my practicum at the Carroll School in Waltham, Massachusetts. I have private tutored students with language-based learning differences since receiving this training in 2021. I also worked as a 4th grade teacher at the Carroll School where I taught language and 1-1 tutored students with language-based learning differences. My work at Carroll School included planning and creating language and OG lessons and materials on a daily basis.
• Before my time at Carroll, I worked as a classroom teacher in both private and public schools.
• If you'd like more information or have questions regarding my experience, please don't hesitate to reach out!
