"As your child's potential tutor, I would like you to know that I have had many experiences working with elementary-aged students and special needs students in grades K-12. I have worked in both private and public schools in a one-on-one, small group, and regular classroom setting. I have certifications in Elementary Education, Special Education, and Art Studio Education K-12. I also have acquired significant training in the Orton-Gillingham phonetic analysis technique. This is a highly effective and recommended phonetic approach which will enable me to assist your child in learning how to read, write and spell more proficiently. My desire is to work in a tutoring capacity assisting students on a one-to-one basis, or a small group setting.

Initially, using both the school's and my own resources, I will diagnose your child's specific learning concerns. This may include communicating with you and your child's teacher so I can best assist your child to be successful in his/her academic endeavors. Sensitivity to your youngster's specific circumstances are of utmost importance to me as we work on obtaining approaches to provide him/her with the greatest academic success he/she can achieve.
