Master's Level Learning Disability Specialist Tutor

Marta M.

I am an educator with a Master's of Arts in Teaching Degree Specializing in Specific Learning Disabilities. I received my Master's at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. My experience includes 20 years of teaching in a SLD Resource Room, Learning Disability Specialist Coordinator and Development of a resource program for students diagnosed with a Specific Learning Disability, Trainer of Certified teachers to work with SLD students, and Owner/ Director of a Tutoring and Educational Counseling Practice.

My experience includes working with students Grades 2-8 in the areas of Reading, Language Arts, Spelling, Writing and Study Skills. In addition to working with mainstream classroom teachers for delivery of I.E.P Goals and Objectives. My duties included training Assistant Teacher in Specific Skills according to Psycho-educational Reports and the requirements of the I.E.P. , as well as provision of specific strategies and interventions to remediate assessed strengths and weaknesses.

I would like to share with you a quote from a letter of a parent. "I want you to understand that we feel forever grateful that you touched our
son's life and his future by your positive , nurturing, teaching style as well as providing him with compensation tools that assist him in his daily
life." This is just a sample of the many letters I have in my portfolio from students and their parents which I will gladly share at your request.
I see myself as loyal, compassionate, kind, honest, and transparent in my relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others I come in contact with on a daily basis. It is my desire to serve, utilizing my gifts and talents, to those students with Special Needs.
