Grammar

One of my students came to me needing help with Grammar and Writing; he had so much success that his grandmother told me that he had decided to be an English teacher. What a fabulous occupation I have!

Elementary (K-6th)

I have over 20 years teaching experience as a private tutor and homeschool mom. I tutor ages 3 to adult, with and without learning differences, in core subjects. I try to fill in the gaps that students have in their learning. I have used a variety of curricula (including Readingtricks.com, the online video training I wrote). I love people, and I love teaching.

Handwriting

I have been teaching for 20+ years with success. Our 4 homeschooled children are 4 successful adults with strong character, great social skills and bachelor to PHD degrees. I love teaching because I love people. When teaching handwriting, I teach pre-cursive, cursive, or manuscript (as requested/needed).

Phonics

Teaching phonics is my area of strength. Because of my concern for students who struggle with reading, I founded an online training curriculum (2017) for tutors interested in teaching reading. I also tutor students (in-person and online) using the Orton Gillingham approach that I use in readingtricks.com. Phonics is never outdated; it always works!!!! I see the results of teaching it every day. Teaching reading is my passion!!

Spelling

I have many years of experience as a private tutor with an emphasis on Spelling and Reading.

Students respond well when they learn to use tricks, practice rules and play games to master what has been a mystery to them for too long.

Study Skills

I have many years of experience as a private tutor teaching a huge variety of subjects, grade levels, learning abilities, etc. I have effectively worked with all ages and have numerous skills and tips for the student lacking adequate study skills. My students find me to be easy-going, patient, and effective in helping them discover which tips and skills work for them. It is a case-by-case adventure for the student and for me. Because of my vast experience in working with different kinds of learners and personalities, my students successfully improve their study skills.

ADHD

I have specialized in teaching students with dyslexia and ADD/ADHD to read and write since 1990. Not only did I home-school my son who has dyslexia and ADD, but I have also enjoyed teaching other ADD/ADHD children and adults. I have written an Orton-Gillingham program (readingtricks.com) that teaches tutors and parents how to teach children who are struggling in school. I have a lot of energy and creativity and know-how to keep the ADD/ADHD student-focused and interested.

Dyslexia

I have a passion for teaching students with dyslexia and other learning differences. Teaching people with dyslexia is my strength; I educate them and am one of their greatest fans/ cheerleaders. I am also the author/founder of ReadingTricks.com, an online training curriculum (2017) for tutors and parents interested in helping people learn to read/read better. I tutor students in-person and online, using readingtricks.com (an Orton-Gillingham approach). Teaching phonics still works, and I see the results every day. People with dyslexia are brilliant. I love working with them!!

Special Needs

Since 1998, I have been working 1-on-1 with children, teenagers, and adults who have a variety of special needs. I have a great amount of patience, and I admire and respect each person. I wrote Readingtricks.com which is a foundational reading program (with a special needs population in mind). I love people and I love teaching.

Cooking

Boy, have I done my fair share of cooking--from basic to not-so-basic. I cooked for a family of 6 until the kids grew up; now, a family of 2; also crowds (community/church); receptions and parties in a variety of settings. I cook from scratch (which is quite much healthier and less expensive than prepared foods). I know how to plan meals within a budget, prepare shopping lists, plan ahead, and prepare many kinds of foods. I can cook with or without recipes. I also enjoy baking breads and desserts.
