Tina Dress volunteered at a special needs school while she was in high school and has known since then that she wanted to be an educator. She worked for over 25 years at the San Mateo County Office of Education with students of all ages and special needs. She was an Inclusion Specialist for several districts in San Mateo County and then went on to be a Resource Specialist and Independent Study teacher for the Sequoia Union High School District before retiring.

After retiring, Tina decided to become a tutor at QWERTY. She really enjoys her students and the 1:1 support I can provide in helping them to achieve their potential in reading, math, writing, and executive functions.
