I home schooled my children and have developed techniques to make the most uninterested students interested in learning. I have employed this technique with special needs students with great success as well. The key to successful teaching is to make it fun!

I also taught my children and many others how to read at very young ages and have perfected the technique for teaching children math and reading who love to move. One of my children had ADD and so I know how to work well with this issue. I also have a technique for te
