I am a retired Learning Disabilities Teacher who has been tutoring students since 2002. Having taught in the field of Special Education for 30 years has given me the opportunity to work with hundreds of students, with unique learning styles who perform below grade level in math, reading, and written language skills. My strengths include: my passion for and working knowledge of brain-based curriculum instruction, and my success in heightening the self-esteem of students via individual visually-based strategy interventions.

Reading

With a Masters degree in Special Education, over 10 years teaching experience as a public school Specific Learning Disabilities teacher, + 20 years as a public school Speech/Language Therapist, I have taught hundreds and hundreds of students to read using the following reading programs; Recipe For Reading, Edmark Reading Program, SRA Reading Programs at all levels, Literature Based Reading Materials, and a myriad of phonetic reading programs. I am very familiar with the Brigance Test of Basic... Read More

English

I have taught English and language arts to students on my learning disabilities caseloads for over 10 years. Also, being a speech/language technician with over 20 years of experience teaching grammar, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, syntax, sentence formation, and written language skills, I am confident in teaching English as a subject.

Spelling

As a learning disabilities teacher and public school speech/language therapist, I have taught spelling skills to scores of students. In fact, I have devised a visually-based spelling technique that has proven quite effective. A former student of mine, who was a very poor speller, won the spelling bee contest for his grade level after he learned and used this very powerful spelling strategy. For many students, I have found drawing a visual configuration or box around the spelling word allows the... Read More

Elementary Math

I have a Masters degree in Learning Disabilities and I have taught Learning Disabled students in the public schools for over 10 years. Learning Disabilities teachers teach math, reading, and written language.

Elementary (K-6th)

Having been a public school Speech/Language Therapist for over 20 years and a Learning Disabilities Teacher for 9 years, I have extensive K-6 teaching experience. With the many hundreds of K-6 aged students I have had on my caseloads, I have successfully planned and provided effective individual teaching based on classroom curriculum in the areas of math, reading, and written language.

Not only do I have an Arizona Dept. of Education teaching certificate in Learning Disabilities, Emotional... Read More

Phonics

My skills are strong in phonics, due to my public school speech/language therapy experience, where "phonetics" is a subject taught to students with weak articulation and language skills. Phonics is also a required course in the field of Speech/Language Pathology.

Having been a Specific Learning Disabilities teacher also has provided me with rich experience teaching many students "phonics", which is a core subject taught by Specific Learning Disabilities teachers.

ADD/ADHD

With a Masters degree in Learning Disabilities and 30 years public school experience working with special education students, I believe I am an excellent candidate for teaching the subject ADD/ADHD.
