Experience Summary
I am a certified level 2 special education teacher with five years experience teaching students with a variety of disabilities. I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham reading methodology. I have successfully helped students learn strategies and implement tools to address dyslexia, reading comprehension, and spelling. I also am skilled at addressing math calculation and math reasoning deficits. My focus is on helping students understand how English and math work. I am currently working on receiving my certification as an Educational Diagnostician in order to diagnose disabilities and recommend appropriate educational interventions.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is playful but structured. I focus on helping students establish feelings of success. I enjoy helping my students recognize their success. Students are taught using multi-sensory strategies and manipulatives to help students build connections to their learning in a tangible way.
My Hobbies
I enjoy playing soccer, spending time with my family, and helping students reach their potential.
