"Hi, there! I am passionate about helping kids fill in the gaps as quickly as possible. To that end, I have a YouTube channel that explains why the fastest way to remediation is through filling in gaps in foundational skills. Check it out: TheTutorFix

I graduated from Madison Area Technical College as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. After working several years in rehab, I retired to homeschool my six children for the next 30 years, developing a curriculum that integrated all subjects and learning modalities. During those years, I also worked as an educational consultant to parents and professionals of learning disabled students before retiring to serve local students and parents directly.

My background as a COTA, with its emphasis on developmental stages, sensory integration, and cognitive development, brings a unique perspective to the tutoring community. Rather than simply helping a student pass his courses, my specialty area of cognitive (brain) training helps get to the root of a student's learning struggles and sets him on the path to future success.

During the ten years I worked as an educational consultant to parents and these last ten years as a private tutor, I have perfected dozens of techniques to aid struggling students. My techniques are often the breakthrough that a student needs to unlock his mind. It isn't uncommon for me to hear from parents and teachers alike saying, "Why hasn't anyone explained these concepts to me before? These make so much sense."

Although I can not use online tutoring for cognitive training, I am eager to teach these techniques to parents around the country so that they can help their own children thrive. Why let your student struggle any longer?" less...
