Tutor Description

I have been an educator in the public schools for over 25 years!  I have worked with children from Kdg. to High School, and I  have also worked with adults.

My expertise is in Reading, Writing, and Math., although I work with most other areas, as well.  I  retired from DPS 1 yr. ago as a reading specialist.  I was a special education teacher for over 15 years, spent many years in the regular classroom, and have worked with children with diverse learning issues (cognitive, ADHD, emotional, dyslexia, etc.)

I love kids, and am proud of the fact that I am able to achieve fast results, and have fun in the process.  I use a variety of strategies and techniques to achieve optimal results.  I expect children to make at least 2 years of growth for every year of instruction.  Many children progress at a much faster pace, due to the individualized 1-1 instruction specific to their needs.

I have 2 Masters degrees, am highly qualified, and have been trained in many intervention techniques.  I am familiar with most curriculums used in the schools, and prefer to consult/work with the classroom teacher to help students transfer success back to their classroom.

I do not require lengthy contracts, as I believe in helping each child catch up as quickly as possible.

I can meet you in a library close to your home!
