"Hello! I am so excited that you are looking for a tutor! Every student can learn and succeed, and I love helping them accomplish their goals. Some details about me:

*20+ years teaching and tutoring experience

*Experience in grades from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th, students with disabilities as well as GATE

*Homeschool teacher for public charter 6 years

*Specialized training in Dyslexia, Orton-Gillingham, SIPPS, ELD, and more

I have many hours of training in using the Orton-Gillingham method in addition to programs approved for this multi-sensory instructional approach. This method of instruction was designed to meet the needs of dyslexic learners and those with related disorders relating to language arts. I have found that the OG method is wonderfully effective for students with these identifications, as well as all struggling learners and early learners (TK-1st). These strategies also are effective in math and other curriculum areas of instruction for these students who struggle with reading and comprehension of content.

I love teaching and inspiring students to want to learn. There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone reach their goals and feel their own sense of pride and accomplishment with what they can do. Struggling learners work SO hard and sometimes work through their frustration; when they finally "get it" they are so excited! I love being an active participant in that process. I have a lot of experience in working with kids with IEPs, 504s, and specialized learning goals because of varying struggles, including dyslexia, visual processing disorders, ADD, and more.

I would love the opportunity to meet you and your family and help your student succeed and build confidence in knowing that they can do it!" less...
