"Hello, my name is Jamie! I’ve been a Special Education High School Teacher and a private tutor for over 12 years. I love tutoring because it allows me to work with students in a one-on-one setting, so lessons can be individualized and I can see growth in students.

I often work with students who have anxieties around math, test-taking, or school in general. My patience, positive attitude, and ability to form connections with students allows students to feel comfortable with me and helps them gain confidence in their skills. I work with students who have learning disabilities, executive functioning weaknesses, or difficulties following through to complete homework, write papers, or make up missing work. I especially enjoy tutoring math: Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, basic math skills, and Geometry. I also have training to help struggling readers, so I tutor Reading with an emphasis on phonics and decoding, using a structured, multi-sensory approach! Lastly, I take special interest in working with English Language Learners and have some Spanish knowledge.

Educational Background: I have a bachelor’s degree in History from The College of New Jersey in 2012, where I was a Special Education and History double major and graduated magna cum laude. I earned a Master’s of Arts in Teaching Special Education from TCNJ in 2013, where I specialized in language and reading disabilities. After teaching for several years, I earned my 2nd Master’s of Arts in Educational Leadership from Ramapo College of NJ in 2017. I have several teaching certifications, including Middle School Mathematics, History, Special Education, and Elementary Education. I have the coursework and training required to become a Reading Specialist. My certifications enable me to serve as a teacher in both general education and special education classes for a variety of high school subjects: Math, English, History, Reading, and Study Skills.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you to help your student be successful!" less...
