"Hi! I've been teaching for forty years and I love it! I retired from full-time teaching in 2007 but missed it so much that I began tutoring! I have two B.S. degrees,; one in Elementary Education and one in Special Education. I also have a Master's degree in Elementary Education. I have taught every grade from first to sixth in Buffalo, NY, New York City, Pennsylvania and Delaware, and am familiar with many reading, math and writing programs. I think learning should be fun! I also believe that, as the teacher, it is my job to come up with as many ways to teach a concept as is needed until your child understands it.

I am specially trained to work with children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, and other learning differences and have done so successfully throughout the years. I know that the key to success for a child with special needs is not to treat them as if they are limited, but to teach them compensating methods so that they are able to perform as effectively as their classmates.

I began and headed up a Resource Room in a private school in Delaware, however I have done most of my teaching in a general classroom setting, mainstreaming special needs students with my other students.

I have also been a lead teacher, grade leader and teacher trainer in the NYC public schools as well as in the Christina School District in Delaware.

Let's talk and see if my experience matches your child's needs!" less...
