More About This Tutor...

I have worked in an elementary public school since 1997. The majority of my experience has been in special education. I currently teach second grade. I hold a bachelor's degree and am able to teach any subject necessary in a general curriculum, although my specialty is working with children with disabilities.
I am patient and positive. I like to set goals for my students based on what they feel is important for them to learn and achieve.

A Little Bit About Me...

Over the course of the past 10 years I have spent time working with students struggling to develop their academic skills, particularly in the areas of language arts and the social studies.

Due to my experience with a broad range of young learners, each working at a different academic and or cognitive pace, I follow a modified Socratic approach to both my classroom and one on one instruction by placing the emphasis on the student as we identify areas for growth. I then sculpt an academic progra ... read more
