I have experience in phonics, story re-telling and comprehension. I also help student with organization skills and written language.
I am interested in tutoring because it is what I know. I enjoy working with a student one on one because specific skills can be addressed. In speech therapy, a subject or project is broken into smaller parts. I see this as an excellent strategy for tutoring. I believe that when a student can achieve even the smallest accomplishments that he or she will gain confidence.
Speech and language development is closely related to reading success. I have knowledge in the areas of phonics, phonemic awareness and language development. These skills serve as a basis for reading skills.
I have experience in helping students organize their language skills. These same principles are important for studying and memorinzing.
I have experience providing speech therapy to students diagnosed with autism. I have had training in the area of ABA principles. I have a firm understanding of the need for reinforcement and direct teaching practices.
I look forward to helping students achieve academic success. Contact me to schedule lessons. I am available for tutoring on weeknights.
