"*****I AM ACCEPTING STUDENTS GRADES 2-8 at this time-preferably in the Eastern Time Zone-but I will do my best to accommodate students in other time zones*****

Parents of homeschooled students-I am actively seeking homeschooled students. Please allow me to assist you with homeschooling your child. I have a comprehensive knowledge of the Common Core Standards for all students. I offer consultations, resources, and assessments, as well as tutoring. If you would prefer to deliver the lessons yourself, I can assist you with designing an appropriate, individualized, curriculum for your child.

To all parents and students-I have a passion for English Language Arts! I can help you/your struggling reader/writer. I identify individual strengths as well as challenges, and use that information to motivate and engage you/them.

I use research-based methodologies for developing phonics, spelling, reading comprehension, and writing skills. I am trained in Orton-Gillingham, Lively Letters, Recipe for Reading, Project Read, Lindamood Bell, Wilson, and Won Way.

I am a recently-retired educator with over thirty years of experience in education. I provided direct instruction, administered screenings and comprehensive assessments, served as a liaison for students, and provided consultation and staff development for teachers. Many of my students faced the challenges of ADHD or a Learning Disability, and met their personal goals for improvement through my instruction. I possess a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master's Degree in Special Education, and I completed Post-Graduate work in adapting the curriculum for all learners at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. I have taught students in Kindergarten through aged 22. I hold certifications from Massachusetts in both general education and in special education. Additionally, I have an endorsement as a Structured English Immersion Teacher. I have experience in the teaching and assessment of English Learners in urban settings with diverse populations." less...
