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.

I have tutored K – college-aged students in various subjects. Most recently, I served as a math teacher under the federal Supplemental Education services program. / At Mind Matters Learning Ctr I worked w/ parents to understand their concerns, & corresponded w/ teachers to pin-point areas of need. I also developed entire HS & college course curriculum. / I focus on helping students embrace education as a “means” to a fulfilling future. For my older students, I have a knack for breaking complex info into a language students can better understand. I also incorporate “real-world” examples to incorporate relevance. For elem. students, I create fun games & activities based on curriculum standards.
