Experience Summary
Hi my name is Nina and I am an learning specialist with extensive experience in Special Education. I have taught in therapeutic day schools for students with learning disabilities and behavioral challenges for the past 8 years. As an individual tutor I focus on proving learning strategies, math and language arts support and individualized academic plans. I am Education Specialist credentialed teacher and hold a M. S in Special Education. I believe that every student is unique and learns in their own way, which is why I enjoy discovering creative ways to help students overcome academic hurdles and develop increased self-efficacy.
Teaching Style
No two students learn the same and I believe in developing a unique teaching style with every student. I use many visuals, manipulatives, assistive technology programs, and examples to help make learning more exciting. My goal is to have students realize their full potential and become curious learners. I focus on students who have a learning disability and work to teach them the necessary tools to strategies to be a successful student.
My Hobbies
I love animals (specially dogs). I also enjoy traveling, making craft projects, and exploring the outdoors.
