Hi there!  Let me introduce myself.

I am Mandy McDonald - a Texas certified, professional teacher with over 25 years of teaching in public, private, and homeschool settings. I am an experienced reading interventionist and elementary academic tutor with an interest in the body-brain connection. My work focuses on elementary and middle school aged students.  Because I am an educator who seeks to fill holes in literacy foundations, the earlier I can accomplish that, the better!

Working one-on-one and in small group settings is my happy place! Students often need someone to champion, challenge, and encourage them on their academic journey. Sometimes they experience stress, anxiety, or even a lack of motivation when learning is a struggle. Together we implement strategies that help regulate their nervous systems, so they are prepared to focus and learn. God gives me great joy in building strong literacy foundations, coming alongside challenged learners, and partnering with parents in their child's educational journey!
