Experience
10+ Years experience as a special education teacher at competitive public school districts in MA 5+ years experience tutoring..teaching reading skills, preparing for state elementary testing, teaching strategies for writing, executive functioning skills, etc. Certifications from year long internship for Wilson Reading and Foundations (specialized instruction of non-readers and dyslexic children/adults Certification in Empower writing. A year long internship to prepare and provide graphic organizers and simplify complete writing process Why I love being a tutor: The best feeling is getting up and know I will make a difference. Maybe I teach a new strategy, teach a game that serves as a memory tool, or maybe introduced graphic organizer that makes the difficult task of writing completely accessible. I believe each child learns their own way. Some require visuals or manipulative or games. Some benefit from organizational skills and a breakdown of tasks. Some will need a combination of all these things. My job is to figure out how your child learns best and form a partnership to ensure a successful school year that limits frustration.
