One of the first things I do with my students with dyslexia is get organized. Homework, projects, and assignments are written down clearly, often color coded, so we know in advance what;s coming. We will organize the student's notebook, and review notes and school assignments so I can assess whether the student is grasping the content from the class. Additionally, we will practice reading and identifying errors in writing. I believe I have the skills set and passion needed to successfully tutor a variety of students. I have a Specialist degree in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment and I am a certified teacher with a master’s in Special Education. I currently teach adults studying for their GED.

During that time I was a compulsive volunteer with different support groups within the school system. I decided to complete my education as my children got older and received my bachelors degree and continued to take classes so that I am now able to sit for my CPA and I have also completed the necessary undergraduate requirement in order to teach business classes. I have also been a long term substitute teach in working with special education students. Every child can learn and children learn at different levels. A teaching style must change to meet the needs of the child because what may work for one child may not work for another. I am patient and kind with students while still being firm when teaching students. I use positive reinforcement to achieve goa

I have been working for the past two years at a school in Washington, DC. There I was a full-time substitute for grades K-8 and was the assistant director to the after-school program. After I spent five years in the finacial planning field, I realized my passion for working with youth through coaching basketball. Two years ago I changed careers and haven't looked back. Now more than ever, kids need positive role models in their lives and I feel blessed to be a part of that. I enjoy working with a wide variety of kids. Every child has the ability to be sucessful if they are reached in the right way, and that is my goal in teaching. Patience plays a large role in finding the correct learning method for each child and that is where I shine.
