I’m Shannon, a DC Certified teacher with a Master’s in Early Childhood Special Education and 15 years of experience teaching young children in an inclusive setting! I am now a homeschooling mom and educational consultant. I tutor a small group of children on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and I am always looking for ways to serve families in my community. I have started to review research on best practices for teaching neurodivergent individuals both in person and online. Given the changing educational landscape, I believe families deserve qualified individuals to help nurture their precious children. I strive to become a community partner in education and childcare.
