About Randy
I am an experienced educator, former New York City Assistant Principal, and Head of Special Education with a strong commitment to helping students with diverse learning needs achieve academic success.
I hold a Master of Arts in Teaching in Special Education and completed advanced studies in School Building and District Leadership. I am also certified in both General and Special Education.
Throughout my career, I have served as a classroom teacher, special education teacher, instructional leader, and school administrator. These experiences have allowed me to work directly with students across a range of academic abilities while also supporting and coaching teachers in effective instructional practices.
My background includes individualized instruction, co-teaching, curriculum development, academic intervention, and the implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Having worked at both the classroom and school leadership levels, I bring a comprehensive understanding of how students learn and the strategies that help them succeed.
Above all, I believe in meeting students where they are, recognizing their individual strengths, and creating a supportive learning environment where they feel respected, encouraged, and empowered to grow.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that every student deserves individualized instruction that recognizes their strengths, addresses their learning needs, and builds confidence in their academic abilities.
Teaching Methodology:
I take a student-centered approach, beginning with an understanding of each learner's academic strengths, areas for growth, and individual goals. My lessons incorporate differentiated instruction, explicit teaching, scaffolded support, guided practice, and ongoing assessment to promote meaningful academic progress.
I emphasize patience, encouragement, and active student engagement while helping learners develop greater confidence, independence, and effective learning strategies.
Lesson Structure:
Lessons typically last 60 minutes, with 30–45-minute sessions available based on each student's age, attention span, and learning needs. Sessions are structured around clear objectives, targeted instruction, guided practice, and feedback.
Who I Support:
I provide individualized online academic support for K–12 students with disabilities and diverse learning needs, including those seeking additional assistance with:
• Reading comprehension and literacy development
• Mathematics and problem-solving skills
• Writing and written expression
• Executive functioning and organizational skills
• Study skills and academic independence
• Individualized academic goals and IEP-aligned learning support
My goal is to ensure that students not only strengthen their academic skills but also develop the confidence and independence necessary for long-term success.
