I have taught special education for 30+ years to grades K-8. The subjects I have taught are Reading, Math, Spelling, Vocabulary, Phonics, Grammar, Sentence and Paragraph Writing, Study Skills, and Social Skills. I have continued to update my subject skills throughout my teaching career. I have worked with all types of students who have different handicapping conditions such as: Attention Deficit, Behaviors, Oppositional Defiant, Autism Spectrum, Asperger Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury, Mild and Mental Disabilities, Physical Disabilities, Learning Disabled and much more. I don't judge people and I treat everyone with respect and I will give you my undivided attention. I am use to teaching students for an hour or hour and a half without a break, however I adjust to each student's needs. I work best when students give me their undivided attention and meet me half way. I am easy to get along with, I have a big heart and a great sense of humor. I am the first to say I am not perfect, I make mistakes and I am the first to laugh at my short comings. I will be just as devoted to you as you are to me. I gain my rewards as I see students being successful and appreciative of my assistance. I am dependable and I won't let you down. Give me a chance, you won't regret it. Much happiness and success in all you do.
