More About This Tutor...

I am a seasoned veteran in Education. I taught for 28 years, and was a school counselor for 7 years. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been a substitute teacher, tutor for 5th graders, and part-time counselor for PreK - 5th grade at different Elementary schools in Corpus Christi, TX. I also taught Study Skills, Test Preparation Skills, and Organizational Skills to my students.
I am Special Education Certified, and know how to work with students with different disabilities. This includes ADHD/ADD problems, Dyslexia, Reading comprehension, Autism, and many others. My daughter is Autistic, has a learning disability, and is Bi-Polar, so I have personal experience with people with disabilities. At present I am tutoring a College Student who is Autistic. I have the patience and understanding plus skills to tutor anyone.

My comments on tutoring Elementary Phonics : I have taught a proven method to a complete non-reader who did not know his basic words to having him completely reading by 7 months at which time he achieved a fluency rate of 60 wpm. In just 2 months' work, I had raised his TPRI scores from 0's and 1's with a Tier 2 ranking to mostly 4's and 5's in just 2 months. Illness, missed sessions, and summer vacations caused student to miss a lot; and if he had not missed so much, I could have had him reading earlier. My system is unique and works! My system teaches you to read ANY word and be successful with a word you have never seen before! It also helps improve spelling difficulties dyslexics usually have as well.

One-on-one, sequential, multisensory, and repetitive approach.
Time spent attending conferences and workshops began to help me learn how to help my severely-dyslexic son and grandson. Then I helped apply some of the concepts learned to help several dyslexic families with the problems they had including ADD/ADHA, organizational, spelling, reading, and comprehension issues. I have been volunteering for several years gaining experience along the way. Every student I have helped has had some kind of learning disability involved and guess those have various levels of dyslexia. In just a few cases have I been successful in getting them to have their children diagnosed. I have recently improved the outcomes of several students who have come to me and taken a complete non-reader and made him into a successful lst grade reader in a relatively short period of time. I have helped a stud ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

While in New York State, I was employed through the Alternative Suspension Program as an LVN. While there,I assisted with the teaching of students. This in turn gave me the opportunity to obtain my certification in Teaching. I remained in this position for two years. During this time, I had my own case load of 5-8 students grade 7-12. Following this position, I was employed at a tutor for those youth who were home bound.
I attended college later in life. Recently, the opportunity arose to better myself. I chose Early Childhood Education and then continued on to obtain my Bachelor's Degree. Following this, I returned to school for Nursing. Eventually, we moved to Texas where I applied,tested and obtained my LCCA License.
