Hello! I'm the creator of True Grit Life Skills and owner of True Grit Tutoring.

My educational experience includes teaching 4th grade for six years and 6th grade English Language Arts for three years. I also worked as a Title I teacher providing reading and math support to students with diverse learning needs. I hold a Master of Education degree in Educational Technology.

In addition to my classroom experience, I homeschooled my daughter with autism throughout her middle school and high school years. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for creating practical, engaging, and individualized learning materials that help students build confidence and independence.

Today, I work as a tutor, and many of the resources in this store have been developed, tested, and refined during real tutoring sessions with teens and young adults. My passion is helping students build confidence, independence, problem-solving skills, and the grit needed to succeed in everyday life.

Thank you for visiting True Grit Life Skills. I hope these resources help your students gain confidence, independence, and success in everyday life.

Have a question about one of my resources? Feel free to reach me at truegritlifeskills@gmail.com.

At True Grit Life Skills, we believe older students deserve learning materials that reflect their age and the real world around them.

Our resources use realistic, everyday situations to make learning practical and relevant. From grocery shopping and restaurant menus to budgeting, paying bills, and understanding financial documents, students practice skills they'll use in everyday life.

Created with teens and young adults in mind, our life skills, financial literacy, and consumer math activities combine age-appropriate visuals, accessible instruction, and meaningful opportunities to make decisions and solve problems.

Whether you're teaching in a general education classroom, special education program, transition program, or homeschool setting, you'll find practical resources designed to help students build confidence and greater independence.

Practice Adult Life. Build Independence.
