"I love tutoring because I firmly believe that individualized instruction is very helpful in academic areas of difficulty. I have tutored before through the Sylvan Center and on a voluntary basis. I have tutored in grades 4 through 9th grade. I am available to tutor in math, but not algebra or more advanced math skills.

I believe that individualized tutoring is most beneficial in helping students master academic skills necessary to build on as new challenges are

Introduced. I try to use methods that don't stress the student. I also provide positive, reinforcement in order to help the student develop confidence in his/her academic challenges.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Communication Disorders, Master's degree in Special Education and 23 hours in Educational Diagnostics. These, I feel, are appropriate for the tutoring experience.

I look forward to assisting you in academic areas of concern for you." less...
