Meet your tutor:
Jodi Donahue.

I am an experienced elementary special education teacher with 30 years of experience helping children learn and succeed.

Throughout my teaching career, I worked with students with a wide variety of learning needs. That experience taught me that there is no single approach that works for every child. Effective instruction begins by understanding how a child learns and then providing instruction that meets that child where they are.

I have specialized training in Orton-Gillingham and LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling), giving me additional tools and strategies for helping students who struggle with reading.

My approach

My goal is not simply to help a child get through the next assignment or improve a single test score. I want children to develop the foundational skills, strategies, and confidence they need to become more independent learners.

Tutoring sessions are individualized based on your child’s needs and progress.

I believe children learn best when they feel successful, supported, and understood.

My commitment to families

I believe parents should understand what their child is learning, why they are learning it, and how they are progressing.

I welcome communication with parents and work with families to develop a tutoring plan that is appropriate for their child’s needs.
