she/her/hers

Tina resides in the state of Connecticut with her family, but will always be a Long Islander at heart.  It’s where her love of reading and beach-going were born.

Tina has a passion for helping young learners succeed, and enjoys passing on a love of reading to the next generations by providing explicit reading interventions.  She has learned through her career how language-based disabilities correlate with difficulties in writing and mathematics, and she works diligently to empower students to break down the pernicious English language.

​

Tina has served as a general educator, special educator, private tutor, learning specialist, Resource Room educator, curriculum coordinator, and virtual literacy tutor in both the public and private sectors of Manhattan, Westchester and Fairfield County.

​

​​At Tides, House, Tina’s hope is to educate the whole child by addressing school challenges, building self-esteem, coordinating with school staff and administration, and sustaining a home-school connection with parents and caregivers.  She has provided countless families with guidance on navigating school related services and offers a supportive ear for parents.  Tina is ready to help your child fall in love with reading, and more importantly, themselves.
