Elementary is one of my top subjects! Hello Students and Parents~
If you have found your way to this site, your child is likely experiencing difficulties in school. Students who are falling behind often have lowered self-esteem, begin to feel they are not smart, and lose interest in school. This can be both frustrating and discouraging for your child and you.
I have been fortunate to work as a highly certified and qualified teacher in both general and special education, with over 20 years experience. I have seen students make substantial gains by working 1:1 and learning educational strategies. In addition to a Master's Degree in Education, my certification includes working with learning disabilities in both math and reading. I also hold additional certification in assessing and addressing reading difficulties. Currently, I am pursuing my doctorate in Instructional Curriculum grade levels K - 12.
My philosophy is that all students can learn and that all students WANT do well in school. I approach the child's academics by focusing on their strengths, building up their academic self-esteem, and gradually introducing skills that they need to work on. As they achieve greater success, the targeted skills are emphasized more. Tutoring should be a helpful, positive, and enriching experience for both the student and the teacher. Otherwise, students tend to shut down and resent having to do "extra work."
I hope you will consider my qualifications and educational approach as you find a tutor for your child. I look forward to hearing from you!
