"Most of my adult life has been dedicated to helping people strive for and achieve personal and academic success. I have worked in the academic field for approximately 14 years, most recently working as a Literacy Turor at a STEM Elementary School, working with kindergarteners to second graters. I focused on site words, letter recognition and phonemic awareness as well as letter combinations to form words. The resource materials used included Heggerty, Stepping Stones and Sound Partners. I have tutored online and in person for over 10 years. In addition, I've scored MEAP tests for 4 years and provided on the job training for inIdividuals needing extra help. At the community college level I headed up study groups for Science classes, creating study guides and practice quizzes. I also individually tutored students in English and English as a Second Language. On the job site I implemented ways for the employee to perform his or her job duties using charts, visual cues and task lists." less...
