"I am a member for the past 13 years of the REACH home school group of about 500 families. My son graduated through home school and is now a Traveling Nurse. My daughter was struggling in public school unable to read. I withdrew her from public school and tried different avenues -nothing worked but homeschool. She is now a middle school teacher. After my children graduated I discovered my gift to work with children with special needs - ADHD, executive dysfunction, Asperger's syndrome, autism, dyslexia (6 different types including dyscalculia). Some of these children have graduated from home school and enrolled in college. To further assist my students I have the following graduate certificate degrees through Liberty University: Gifted Education, Preschool Education, Educational Technology and Online Instruction, and finally Autism Education. I have my Bachelors in Management Information Systems from Pace University, New York, NY.

I love tutoring students and I have a track record for success. I meet the student at the place where they currently need help. I staff their weaknesses and there is nothing they cannot accomplish. Once the lights come on, it is a wonderful feeling for both of us. I traveled to Lorton, VA for many years offering after-school enrichment tutoring to multi-cultural public school students in Reading/Phonics, English and Math (Basic through Algebra). Living in Stafford, VA it is now time for me to help students in my own backyard.

I give my students a lot of theory. Numbers change all the time but the steps to accomplish your goal will remain the same. While I am helping a student, I hold their hand long enough then I let them loose still under my guidance. Once they are ready, their confidence is built because they finally understand what they were struggling with. Long before I graduated from high school, I loved English. For fun I would complete English workbooks. It really stuck. In college I excelled in writing and scored for the first time 1010/1010 - a perfect score." less...
