I am a certified elementary, and special education teacher with 30 years experience. I have worked with students with many different kinds of special needs, including dyslexia, attention difficulties, speech/language needs as well as all areas of Learning Disabilities. I also have experience working with students in the Autistic Sectrum.
I have tutored elementary and middle school students in the areas of math, reading, writing, study skills, test taking and social skills. I have also worked with adults striving to increase their literacy skills so they can pass the state GED exams.
I believe in a hands-on approach to teaching with lessons based on the students background and experience. Instruction will be designed to fit the learners learning styles and learning preferences. These options could include a focus on a preferred sport or activity or include manipulatives and mutlimedia.
