Providing Positive Strategies for Success!

I have taught in both the public and private school sectors. I have been teaching Special Education since 1999. I owned a learning center for children on the Autism spectrum as well as own my own tutoring business~Special Effects Tutoring. I provide tutoring, advocacy, and professional development in the Collin County area of Texas. I have participated in professional development and continue to work with children and families, along with support specialists, to provide a comprehensive and collaborative service.
I believe in adapting my teaching style based on individual learning styles. I use a multi-sensory approach along with positive reinforcement. Each child I work with is unique and in order to be successful it is imperative to build a rapport with the child and the family.

A Little Bit About Me...

My teaching style is student-centered, meeting the student where they are in the material. The best learning occurs when there is mutual respect, honesty, and relationship building.
Before becoming a certified science teacher I worked as a technical expert for an anatomic pathology company. I was requested to provide continuing education courses for laboratory professionals across the country. As a teacher my enthusiasm for science is contagious. I provide individualized lessons to ensure that the material is understood.

Learning can be fun and exciting; it's all in our attitude!

I love working with students and my style is direct teaching; I feel that a student needs to master the concept being taught before moving on to the next level.
I have been in education for 18 years. I started in special education and general education. I taught math, English, reading, science, and history. I also taught the GED and the state test (CA). I tutored all subjects to homebound students. I facilitated reading programs and held workshops for teachers that taught special needs students. I was also a high school counselor for 5 years and have my credential in school psychology

Ex-classroom school teacher with 10 years plus experience!

My teaching style is one that always tries to relate to the child and to have fun. Does the child enjoy video games, dinosaurs, soccer, dance, or a particular cartoon character? When I discover what it is the child enjoys, I bring that element into the subject we are learning about. If the child likes soccer and struggles in reading, I research about famous soccer players and find books on them. Perhaps, at the end of a teaching session, we go outside and kick the soccer ball for 5 minutes as a source of inspiration to get work completed. Bringing in other ways of learning through play and games is also something I enjoy. Playing simple math games or reading games is a easy way to teach a child, without them realizing they are learning.

My comments on tutoring ADD/ADHD : I have lived through raising an adult daughter who has ADD. I have lectured, to teachers and mentored parents to help their ADHD children to "level the playing field" by learning how to learn using their specific strengths and strategies to stay focused. Working closely with each child's teacher and school is the most important conduit to individual success in learning and life.

I have 40 years of teaching experience in the Montessori Method of education. During this time I have taught children (18 months - 12 years) in life skills and learning across the curriculum. I also founded a successful school (bfarm.org),experienced numerous interim Head of School positions, as well as lectured to staff and mentored parents in child development. I enjoy helping children to reach their individual potential in all realms of their development: intellectually, socially, and academically.
I have a hands on personal approach to learning. I believe many children get"lost"in the system and need individual skills and strategies to catch up and feel good about themselves as legitimate learners and doers."I can't" means "I won't" - attitude rather than ability and a fear of failure. Once a relationship of hope and increasing ability becomes apparent, most kids begin to care ... read more

As an experienced Plano ISD teacher I have had the opportunity to provide students with effective instruction to meet their individual needs. I have taught all subjects in third grade for nine years. For the past five years I have also been teaching the advanced math class. I specialize in TAKS test preparation, Reading, Math, and Writing.
I believe that children learn best when they are having fun. My goal as an educator is to instill a love of learning in students. If a child can take ownership of his or her learning, they will reach a greater level of comprehension and retain what they have learned.
