Experience Summary
As a teacher of children with learning disabilities, I have extensive experience working with children on varying levels. In addition to being a certifie3d teacher, I have had prior experience as the education director at Sylvan Learning Center. I regularly diagnose students' individual learning needs and then plan for appropriate support. I have experience with children who are dyslexic and use an Orton-Gillingham based program to meet their needs. I am an excellent math teacher with past training in individualized learning methods. I have taught in the Brevard School system for the past 8 years.
Teaching Style
I am a patient teacher who can make learning fun for children while meeting their individual needs. Since no two children are alike, each child requires different stategies in order to meet their ongoing educational needs. I believe in using manipulatives when necessary so that a child can receive hands on instruction in understanding mathematical concepts. My reading belief is based on students learning basic phonics and syllable division in order to progress to reading for understanding. Children love me and I am available to help your child find academic success. All children can learn given the appropriate surroundings, resources, and experiences.
