"One of my favorite parts in teaching/tutoring is seeing a reluctant student who says "I can't learn this" say in further lessons, "I can't wait to learn more!"

I have had over 20 years of experience in teaching students a number of subjects, primarily Spanish and Reading. Schools and institutions where I worked included the Rochester City School District for Home/Hospital Tutoring Program and Teaching to Incarcerated Youth, BOCES #1, and the Norman Howard School. I am presently a Substitute Teacher for the Brighton Central School District, and a Dyslexia and occasional Spanish Tutor. I have tutored students at homes, at schools, and a variety of other places I have worked with students of all ages, backgrounds and learning challenges.
