Strategies & More ~ Specialized Tutoring

I have been a Special Education Teacher for more than 10 years. I began teaching after both of my children struggled with academics in elementary school. I know how it feels to want the best for your children and I help them believe in themselves, find strategies to fill in those areas of growth and build on their natural strengths. I have a background in writing with a BA in journalism, an M. Ed. with an emphasis in Special Education and an MA. Ed. in Educational Technology.

I love when a scholar makes a connection and feels empowered about learning. Truly it is a gift when you see a student in a productive struggle, persevere and then find themselves on the other side feeling good about themselves and their abilities. Having a ̈Growth Mind Set, ̈ is an important quality for success. Every person wants to feel good about themselves and young people are no different, but we all know that when things are hard it is easy to give up. I love helping student push through and learn to believe in themselves.
