"I am a retired special educator with over 38 years of experience teaching in the Ann Arbor area. I have had the privilege of teaching a wonderfully diverse group of students, each with unique perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Through my teaching, I have been able to connect with and inspire these students and help them achieve their academic and personal goals. Diversity strengthens our classrooms and society, and I will always be enthusiastic about teaching and learning from students of all backgrounds.

I have worked tirelessly in various classroom settings and have honed my skills over 18 years of tutoring students at home. You can rest assured that I have all the necessary tools to help your child succeed.

 My years of teaching and working closely with students have taught me the value of patience and encouragement. I offer a unique perspective on the education of struggling students, which helps me understand how they learn and reach their full potential as learners. Every student has the potential to succeed with the proper guidance and support. My experience and skills can help your child reach their full potential. Let me help your child excel and unlock their true potential.

In my teaching, I utilize several specialized learning strategies designed to meet the needs of struggling students. My extensive training includes F.A.S.T. Reading, Orton-Gillingham, The Sonday System, Project Read, Phonetics First, Everyday Math, Guided Math groups, and English As A Second Language. My primary focus for reading instruction has been on systematic multi-sensory phonetic instruction. My training in Project Read has been in all reading strands, including phonetics, linguistics, and reading comprehension: story form, report form, and written expression. Additionally, all approaches include training in reading comprehension. I am a trained Executive Functioning Coach, completing my instruction at Rush Neurobehavioral Center. " less...
