Bio

I have been a teacher mostly in the public school system for more than 25 years. My Bachelor's degree was in Psychology, and I hold two current teaching credentials, a Multiple Subjects Credential from Long Beach State (CSULB) and a Learning Handicapped Credential (now called Mild/Moderate) from San Diego State University. I was a substitute teacher. I have taught mainly elementary-age students, but on occasion, I have worked also with both middle and high schoolers. I have experience...

I have been a teacher mostly in the public school system for more than 25 years. My Bachelor's degree was in Psychology, and I hold two current teaching credentials, a Multiple Subjects Credential from Long Beach State (CSULB) and a Learning Handicapped Credential (now called Mild/Moderate) from San Diego State University. I was a substitute teacher. I have taught mainly elementary-age students, but on occasion, I have worked also with both middle and high schoolers. I have experience with different kinds of disabilities and feel comfortable working one-on-one with every child and/or adolescent.

I am patient, encouraging and very observant. I believe every child has a right and a need to move forward. Persistence and mastery are two skills I try to instill in every child I work with. I especially love teaching reading, writing, math, and all the elementary subjects, and can help some middle and high school students, especially with English/history assignments. I invented a new way to understand fractions for the math-challenged. I feel comfortable with many types of writing assignments, as well as analysis of literature.

I am available full-time during the summer and possibly on a more limited basis during the school year.
