My comments on tutoring Elementary : As a special education teacher with both my special education and multiple subject credentials, I believe in multi-modality teaching, as well as changing activities frequently to keep kids engaged. I have supported many children in the development of foundational and actual skills from ages pre-school to 12th grade in reading, writing, math, study skills, social skills, and any other core subjects as needed. I have worked with curriculums such as Saxin phonics, Silver Burdett and Ginn, Abekka, Hugh Mifflin, Dolch, Keleidoscope, Slam Math, Touch Math, Step Up to Writing, Explode the Code, Sounds Abound, and Handwriting Without Tears.

I have a passion for teaching and love to work with all students, seeing results in growth of self esteem, knowledge and the meeting of their potential. I have 15 years' experience in the special education field.

I have a Master's degree in special education and hold both my clear Level 2 mild/moderate special education credential and my multiple teaching credential, as well as my autism authorization.
