I worked at the Texas Boys Choir for four years prior, teaching Language Arts and math. I have 90 hours of Language Therapy training and Special Ed. certification. I am a compassionate & friendly, yet firm educator with an excellent track record of helping students find success in reading & math. Most of my students see positive results in as little as six to nine weeks' time. I know having good rapport with students promotes self-esteem & learning!

Excellent Tutor

Terry makes learning fun and exciting for my son. He seems to really enjoy his time with her. After two sessions, I already see an improvement in his spelling and reading. She is also very warm, kind and positive. What a jewel! I highly recommend Mrs. M.
