Special Education Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Ashwood, OR

I am a very warm, caring instructor who is able to gauge a students' needs, whether it involves study skills, organization or overall comprehension. My tutoring philosophy involves working with your child's current assignments. Together we will develop study skills which will help him/her not only immediately, but also in years to come. I will NOT give your child 'extra' work, unless requested by you or your child.
