About
Hi...my name is Patty DeAngelus Hathaway and I have over 20 years of classroom experience in the public school system. I started my own tutoring business when COVID hit and really love helping students achieve their goals one-on-one. I'm using a very specific and systematic reading program called the Barton Reading and Spelling System which is Orton Gillingham based. It was developed for students with dyslexia but helps all struggling readers. I also have another reading program called Foundation in Sounds that I use with students who cannot pass the Barton screening. The subject I've been tutoring in primarily is reading but I also had math students in 2022. My education includes a Masters of Arts in Teaching from Roger Williams University. I would love to help your child progress in his or her education with my knowledge, encouragement, and positive energy. My lessons are engaging and motivating and help keep students focused. Children need to be encouraged and motivated especially after going through Covid and I find the silver lining in every situation. All my reviews are on https://www.wyzant.com/match/tutor/88942320. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When first working with new students, I ask them what area(s) they are struggling the most in and talk about what learning strategies have worked best for them. My goal is to get to know each student both personally and academically. This helps to foster a strong rapport and trusting relationship.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching and have fulfilled requirements for all special education courses. I also have 18+ years experience working with a diverse population of students including students with ADD/ADHD and students on the autism spectrum.
