"I am a certified special educator with fourteen years of experience in the school system. As the parent of a gifted child with a disability, I understand that no two students process information the same way. As a teacher in a socioeconomically challenged demographic, I understand that in order to reach ALL students, one must strive to truly know EACH student.

While 80% of students may make progress with standard instructional delivery, I specialize not only in reaching the other 20% but also in helping the 80% make even more progress. I use a thematic approach to teaching content; that is, I'm all about making it RELEVANT.

I have taught in all of the core content areas and have instructed at every level from kindergarten through adulthood. I am trained in a number of reading and math interventions. I am also a trained educational evaluator. As your child's tutor, I will look to make a connection and use it to free all the potential locked inside. I look forward to getting to know you and your child." less...
