Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

In addition to a Master’s degree in Education, I am certified by the Illinois State Board of Education in elementary and secondary Learning Behavior Specialist.

I use a broad range of methods and strategies to ensure student success, each of which is adapted to the learning style of the student. I have found that working with a student's teacher and, if applicable, IEP team, is very valuable in the tutoring process. I am very adept at interpreting and applying intervention plans, individual education plans, and NWEA reports. I especially enjoy the one-to-one relationship of tutoring, within which I can quickly diagnose a student’s weaknesses and work with him or her on precisely those issues that need addressing. With my direction and your hard work, we can help you find the success that eludes you in the classroom environment!

I have served as a special education teacher in a variety of roles and I am familiar with the many aspects of delivering special education services to students with Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD, specific learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders. I have experience working with students on a variety of assistive technology products including Dragon Naturally Speaking, Kurzweil 3000, Co-Writer, Write: OutLoud, Intellitools Classroom Suite, Smart Boards, and Intellipics among others. In addition, I am familiar with accessing and using digital texts and have completed coursework at UIC in Assistive Technology.

American History

My undergraduate major was History and I taught American History for four of my twelve years of teaching.

Reading

I am a certified teacher endorsed to teach reading. I am trained to teach the Language! program by Sopris West and the Wilson reading program for students with reading learning disabilities.

Writing

In this age of texting, instant messaging and email, the ability of people to write a well-constructed piece of work has diminished. High stakes standardized testing, college applications, Advance Placement tests and others requiring a timed written response sends many students into a panic. The remedy for this involves direct instruction in grammar, vocabulary, and different types of writing combined with timed practice writing. The process takes some time and effort but it will improve both... Read More

ASVAB

I am a retired Marine and my husband is retired Navy so I am very familiar with the demands of the military. In addition, I have twenty years of experience teaching general education subjects and test taking skills.

ACT English

I identify and focus on specific academic weaknesses, and teach specific test taking skills and strategies to enhance success. It's never too late to prepare for these tests, even if you only have a few weeks to get ready, I can help. Research shows that students who are familiar with the test and understand how to approach the different sections outperform those who do not. My experience with special needs students has led me to be a skillful diagnostician of learning problems in all children... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a certified elementary education teacher with 20 years of teaching experience. I am certified to teach kindergarten through 9th grade in the state of Illinois. Not only have I been a classroom teacher with responsibility for teaching all subjects, but I have also developed curriculum for both gifted and talented students as well as special education programs. Support in these programs included reading, math, science, social studies, study skills, writing and language arts. I created hands... Read More

Phonics

I am a certified special education teacher. I am trained to teach the Language! program by Sopris West and Wilson reading program for struggling readers, which includes a phonics component, along with other curricula for students with reading learning disabilities.

Study Skills

I've worked with middle and high school students who struggle with organization and study skills. In fact, my primary role as a high school resource teacher was to work with students, their teachers, and families on exactly these issues. As students advance in school, the number and complexity of assignments increases. At the same time, the amount of individual academic support decreases. This can create problems for students with marginal organization and study skills, despite past success.Read More

Special Needs

Over the past 15 years, I've worked with special needs and at-risk students in self-contained classrooms, resource rooms, general education classrooms and private tutoring. I have taught multi-grade, multi-subject self-contained classes, small groups, one-on-one, and in the general education classroom. I am an astute diagnostician of learning problems and highly skilled in developing strategies that allow my students to be highly successful. I believe that self-esteem and motivation are critical...

College Counseling

Do you need help finding a college, applying to college, or taking those entrance exams? I have been working in college admissions for an East Coast college over thirty years and have just completed the process with my own child with ADHD and Learning Disabilities.

If you have a child applying to college, especially a child with disabilities, you will face a stressful time during that senior year. There is the process of finding a college that will meet your student’s needs and where... Read More

ADD/ADHD

In addition to having a daughter with ADHD, I am a certified special education teacher (LBS I) and have fifteen years of experience in the classroom working with students with ADD/ADHD.

Aspergers

I am a certified special education teacher (LBS 1) and have worked with Aspergers students in my classes and private tutoring.

Dyslexia

I am a certified special education teacher (LBS 1) endorsed in Learning Disabilities. I am trained to teach the Language! program by Sopris West and the Wilson Reading Systems for struggling readers along with other curricula for students with reading learning disabilities.
