"Hi!

I'm Sandy, and I'd love to talk with you about educational needs. I am a special education teacher with more than twenty years of tutoring experience, helping students who are in danger of "falling through the cracks." I specialize in assisting with literacy and writing development, but can assist elementary and middle school level students with all subjects, high school students with basic math and all language arts, social studies, test prep and study skills, and adults with remedial college classes as well as basic literacy and math skills.

I CAN assist students with special needs, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Cognitive Delays, auditory processing problems and other difficulties.

Visits to your home or a public site can be arranged, but will entail an additional fee for travel. I am located near Edwardsburg, Michigan and just north of Granger, IN.

I also offer assistance with school ass" less...
