Debbie Dimattia (Ms. D) earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Elementary Education from Saginaw Valley State University. Before she began working at Macomb Tutoring, she was a highly effective classroom teacher for 22 years. She loved being a classroom teacher for all those years, but she decided to step back to help students who need a more personalized approach. Working at Macomb Tutoring allows Ms. D to tailor and apply her teaching skills to each student’s individual needs. While doing so, she can see her students’ progress, their growing confidence, and their improving grades. She finds this immensely rewarding, and she loves the thought that she has the privilege of being part of each student’s educational journey.
