Experience Summary
I am certified to teach all subjects in elementary education and college prep. I am certified to work with special needs children and diagnose their problems. Reasearched based teaching principles are used to help your child make progress. They can use these stratigies at home and at school. Whether you are home schooling, or have a child with difficulties in private or public school,or getting ready to enter college. I can help you understand why you have problems learning and retaining information. I perform testing for schools and colleges for accommodations in the classroom. Whether you are helping someone or yourself you need answers and I can help give you those answers. I tutor teachers for certifications. I will work with you and/or your child to improve those critical language arts skills. Call 713 492 5566 to discuss your needs.
Teaching Style
I believe in assessments to determine a childs strengths and weaknesses. I would want to have previous class work and homework assignments and determine deficiencies in a given area. I want to understand what the teacher is doing from this work. It is helpful to understand why you or your child is not being as successful as possible. Often your child's teacher is trying different strategies with computers or in class tutoring. I will improve this approach with one to one teaching in my office or in a library setting.
