Reading Specialist

Liba, a distinguished educator and a passionate advocate for children, holds a master’s degree in Special Education. Her remarkable journey in the field of education began with a profound realization – that she possessed a unique gift to assist children who were grappling with challenges in their academic journey.
Throughout her career, Liba dedicated her efforts to several private day schools, where she worked to instill hope in both parents and students. She firmly believes that every child is extremely capable of conquering academic obstacles, particularly when it comes to the art of reading. Her mission has always been to guide children on a path towards not only mastering the art of reading but also learning to love it.
One of Liba‘s key strengths lies in her application of clinical tests during reading evaluations, enabling parents to gain a deep understanding of their child’s reading capabilities and challenges. With this knowledge, she crafts tailored plans for every child, ensuring that their unique needs and potential are taken into account.
What truly sets her apart is her ability to cultivate positive and nurturing relationships with both her students and their families. She offers a therapeutic space for children to not only overcome academic hurdles but to shine brightly.
Liba‘s approach is holistic, encompassing activities like swimming, baking, and multi-sensory learning, all aimed at demonstrating to children that they possess the capacity to thrive in all aspects of their lives. She actively collaborates with Occupational Therapists (OTs), Physical Therapists (PTs), Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), school directors, and teachers to ensure that each child receives comprehensive and personalized attention.
In Liba‘s world, education is not just about learning; it’s about empowerment and unlocking the potential within every child. With her unwavering dedication, boundless passion, and collaborative spirit, she continues to transform the lives of students and their families, one educational journey at a time.
