I am a certified and experienced teacher. I have taught for 25 years. I have a K-8th certification in Math and a minor in English-Speech. I have experience with 5th grade and 4th grade classrooms. I went on to become certified as a Reading Specialist and served students in preschool through 6th grade. I then went on to become a learning disabilities teacher and have taught these students and other special education students in 7th through 12th grade. I then went on to become certified in working with dyslexic students. I have taught reading, English, math, science and have supported social studies, health, American history, modern history and drafting. I also supported students who went to the Skill Center at the local college with the book part of their trades which included auto mechanics, auto body, food service, etc. You will find that I can teach most subjects.

I have a major in Math and can teach many areas of math. I can teach prealgebra, algebra 1, linear algebra, logic and probability along with general math, math for specific trades and real life math.

Any student who contacts me may learn more about me and I would love to learn about you.

I am qualified to tutor in Career Development because I have experience in doing so. I have taught high school students in various areas of Career exploration. Some of the areas I have taught were Auto Mechanics, Auto Body, Cosmetology, Food Service, etc. I have taught the basics of these through informational moduals. I taught the book part of these careers also. The students went on to the Skill Center to practice the skills taught. I went to the Skill Center to check on their performance.

I am certified in K through 8th grade. My major was in Math and my minor was in English-Speech. I have specifically taught 4th and 5th grade in the classroom. I also have taught Reading as a Reading Specialist in 2nd through 8th grade.
General Music

General Music

I am qualified to tutor general music because I have been taught music from three different music teachers. I have been taught how to read music. I have been taught how to play both the piano. I took a class at the University playing piano. I also have been taught how to play the guitar. The teacher who taught me guitar was teaching me on a one to one basis. He taught me how to read notes and cords and now I know how to read notes and cords and can teach others how to do so.
Handwriting

Handwriting

I am qualified to tutor in handwriting. I have tested preschool for this skill. I have also taught the traditional handwriting technique. I have worked with classroom students and special education and special needs students to help them in their handwriting. One technique I would use is their large muscles groups and then their small muscle groups. Another technique would be to use templates to help, perhaps even some imagery and tactile methods.
Phonics

Phonics

I am certified as a teacher for dsylexic students whose basic training is in phonics. I have taught dsylexic students for about twenty years. I use the Orton-Gillingham form of instruction. Every lesson is a hands on lesson.
