Basic Learning Skills is one of my top subjects! I work with young children for the last 10 years.

This experience enriched my knowledge of the deaf individuals with mental illness and their highly demanding environment.

I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your child find academic success. I am patient, very easy going, and considerate. My goal is to provide the best understanding and education possible for your child. I believe there are different ways in which a student will learn and I am a huge believer in the constructivist approach to learning. I strive to make a difference in all my students' lives and to create a better future and understanding for them.
As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I love teaching and interacting with students of all ages and ability levels. I believe that each person is unique and receives information in a unique way. Tutoring should be a joint process of discovering a student's learning style and tailoring information so that the student is able to learn and thrive. In my opinion, teaching should focus on the individual strengths of the learner and not just their challenges. The student should learn to use their strengths to not only overcome their challenges, but also to fall in love with learning and gain self confidence.
As a holder of a Bachelor's in Social Work, I have a great deal of experience mentoring and tutoring students of various ages and abilities. I have worked with adult learners and high school age students with disabilities. I have a strong background in English and Grammar due to an extensive amount of college level paper ... read more
