Retired Teacher, Still Wanting to Help

Katy E.

Hello. My name is Katy, and I like to teach. I just finished 10 years as a 7th Grade Resource Specialist. I loved the staff and the kiddos I worked with, but am ready to slow down and have time for other very important areas of my life that have been neglected. Now I still get to help students, but can limit the scale of it all.
I have a valid California Teaching Credential, and I also have current Reading Specialist and Education Specialist Credentials that let me work with kiddos who have learning disabilities. I worked with students according to their individual needs, adjusted lessons according to those needs, and also taught small groups of kiddos with organizational challenges. At the same time, I was working in classrooms that had general educational/non-learning disabled students as well. I worked with all students in English, Social Studies, and Math class. (English/Soc Studies are my specialties, but I can help with math pretty well). I will start with what you are struggling with, but can also work with you on specific skills as well.
One other interesting fact about my teaching history is that I homeschooled all three of my own kids, all the way through high school. Just fyi, my three now-grown children went to public universities and all graduated with honors in their chosen fields. Partly that was because they worked hard, but I would also like to think their teacher had something to do with it as well. I am told that I have an excellent sense of humor, and I am pretty low-key, patient, and understanding. :)

Online or in-person, if local to Livermore, CA. Homeschoolers are welcome, and I prefer to finish by 6:00 pm, M-F.
