I live in East Mesa and am willing to travel within 20-25 miles to do tutoring. I have been a special education teacher for 6 years, 4 of those years here in the Valley. Presently, I have tutored 2 students for the GED test with a tailor-made program targeted specifically for the GED. BOTH of my students, from challenging backgrounds, have PASSED the GED. My style is to fully assess each student to know their strengths and weaknesses and make a plan accordingly. Witha no nonsense, yet engaging style of teaching, my teaching has been quite effective.

I do require a 2 hour minimum for GED students.

I am also tutoring special needs students in Language Arts (reading, grammar and written expression) and math up to Algebra 1.

If you want a tutor that is dedicated, passionate, and organized and YOU are willing to do the work, I'm your gal! ..Thanks! Sandy
