Julie G
I was born and raised in Montclair, New Jersey, and have always had a passion for working with individuals with various needs. I transitioned to Arizona when I attended the University of Arizona and graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor’s in Cross Categorical Special Education, K-12. I have eight years of experience working as a Special Education teacher in environments ranging from Self-Contained to Resource rooms. My main inspiration is to build solid relationships with the students I am working with and create a safe, positive learning environment that engages, motivates, and nurtures students. In the tutoring environment, I want to take an approach to teaching that is individualized and tailored to each student’s specific needs in the way that they learn the best. I am very creative and flexible with my teaching style. I am always willing to adapt and commit to ensuring a student understands the content and feels successful in completing tasks that are challenging for them successfully and independently.
I am thrilled to be working with Focus Tutors students at the elementary and secondary grade levels in language arts, mathematics, general homework/organization skills and executive function coaching.
