My goal is to meet your child's needs and help them succeed

I am a flexible tutor and am able to switch up my teaching styles based on the strengths, preferences, interests and needs (what I like to call their SPINs). I try to meet each individual student's needs using a variety of teaching strategies and techniques based on their learning style(s).
I have been tutoring individually for over 8 years for multiple families and children. I have been in child care as a nanny for the past 3 years. Before becoming a nanny I worked as a preschool teacher for about 2 years. My knowledge gained through my experiences in teaching and child care have given me useful tools to help meet the needs of my students and help them to be successful in school and in life.

Special Education is one of my top subjects! I taught 5th and 6th grade special education in both the self-contained and in-class support classroom for 12 years. I have a rich experience in teaching diverse populations, from schools in urban Philadelphia, metropolitan Honolulu, and rural South Jersey. I was named Teacher of the Year in my last district.

I am easygoing and friendly, and never judgemental. I will focus on what you feel is your weakest link or help you determine where your needs are. We will discuss the scoring rubric used on the constructed responses, examine examples of potential scenarios, and review responses and how they would have scored and why.
I have taught Special Education in the public school system for over 13 years. This exposure to the needs of students and the strategies that play such an important part in helping students succeed led me to eventually begin scoring PRAXIS tests. After 3 years of scoring, I was offered a position as a scoring facilitator who introduced constructed response questions, discussed rubric requirements, and monitored the scores given by groups of 10-14 scorers assigned to each question.
