I am a special education teacher in the state of Illinois with 11 years of experience. I am a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner as well as certified in the Orton-Gillingham approach trained through the Children's Dyslexia Centers. Many of my students or clients have an array of deficits, and with the knowledge of many these interventions, I am able to create an intervention plan that will meet those needs.

I have experience with using programs such as: Reading Mastery, Wilson Reading, Jolly Phonics, Jolly Grammar, Esperanza (Spanish Orton Gillingham), Read Naturally, Connecting Math Concepts, Heggerty, Lindamood Bell(Verbalizing and Visualizing) and the Orton-Gillingham method. I truly do love teaching as it allows me to individualize instruction for each student. I believe that every individual can learn with the right tools and with the right person.I take great pride in providing academic learning plans to best support your child or family member.

I provide effective academic interventions for in-home, one-to-one tutoring services. I conduct assessments of current student skills to determine academic needs and make an individualized learning plan so that you understand what plan will be in place. I will collaborate with parents/legal guardians,teachers, and the evaluation team to ensure academic success. Please contact me and together we can make a difference!

Elementary Math

I have worked with students in special education who have a learning disability in math. I use direct instruction programs such as: Connecting Math Concepts,a tier 3 math intervention. In order to know where to begin in Connecting Math Concepts, I would administer a pre-assessment to see what level to start. I have experience with Touchmath, which is a multisensory math program that makes critical math concepts easier for students to understand.

Many of my students who have a learning disability in reading, also have it in spelling and/or writing. I have used the Wilson Reading System and the Orton Gillingham method to help with writing complete sentences and spelling words. I have experience using the University of Kansas Writing strategy, as it is an evidenced based curriculum. It teaches the writing standards from grades 2-12, and increases their writing performance. It provides different writing strategies: FUNDAMENTALS IN THE SENTENCE WRITING STRATEGY (GRADES 2+), PROFICIENCY IN THE SENTENCE WRITING STRATEGY (GRADES 3+), PARAGRAPH WRITING STRATEGY (GRADES 4+), and EDIT STRATEGY (GRADES 4+). I also help with basic writing skills for young authors and introducing them how to organize what they want to say and structure it. The activities address the five stages of writing, (pre-emergent, emergent, early, developing, and established). It also helps ESL/ELL students learn to write in the English Language!

Special Needs

Being a flexible educator, I have enjoyed the opportunity to teach a diverse group of students including those with ADD/ADHD, Emotional/Behavioral Disturbance, Other health impairments, learning disabilities, and speech impairments. Currently, I am working as a special education resource teacher in Highland Park, Illinois. I am the ELL special education resource teacher. I work with students with various backgrounds and learning abilities. Many of my students have a learning disability, speech/language disorder, Autism, ED/BD, OHI, ADHD/ADD. dyslexia, etc. These experiences have helped me transform into a humble and compassionate individual, who takes each student’s learning problems seriously, and create effective lesson plans and activities to accommodate them. My greatest capability is infusing technology into my activities. I also developed lesson plans that meet the needs of all styles of learners. I have incorporated various forms of discussion, technology, and group work to teach new concepts. I make sure that each student receives encouragement and praise for their work so that he/she stay motivated to do the work and does not quit. I welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my goals and achievements as well as skills that would benefit your academic program. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Amazing Teacher

My daughter had another teacher for her dyslexia that she worked with for over three years. Within four months of lessons my daughter has surpassed what she had done with the other teacher in three years! She is progressing really well and her self-confidence is really growing. She makes learning fun and it’s not stressful she connects well with her students.
