I have wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember! I was a special educator in a public school in Vermont for 25 years, before relocating to Florida in 2014.

Excellent with children and a very patient teacher
Valerie is helping my son to get to a 2nd-grade level in reading. He's easily distracted and has a hard time with his memory and pronunciations, and Valerie is very patient with him and gives explanations that he understands. She has great lessons prepared and genuinely cares that he gets better.

Very Knowledgeable, Kind & Patience.
Valerie is helping my son with reading using the Wilson method. My son has ASD/ADHD and I can see significant improvements on his reading skills. Valerie has training and experience with the Wilson method and teaching Special Education kids. She is very professional, kind and always on time. She teaches the material at a good pace, my son can follow the lessons and she makes him feel comfortable. I like the fact that Valerie incorporates vocabulary and reading comprehension. My son is now decoding words and eager to read. He loves Valerie and I am grateful that we found her!
