Hi! I'm Dr. Nicole Caldwell, and I've been teaching children and teens with autism for about 16 years. I work with children in their homes to help them learn social skills, communication and language, and academics.

​

I specialize in teaching:

  • Language and communication skills (during play-based activities),

  • Dyslexia reading intervention,

  • In-home math instruction for students who have difficulties with understanding and retaining math and/or anxiety about math, and

  • Science/coding/3D modeling tutoring for all ages.

.

If you live in the Dallas or Rockwall areas of Texas, and would like more information, please send me a message. I'm happy to answer questions or set-up a free initial consultation.

If you're outside of the Dallas/Rockwall area, I offer online teaching and tutoring via video conferencing. Send me a message if you'd like more information or to set-up a free initial consultation (via video conferencing). Thank you!
