Providing Exceptional Instruction for children for over 30 years Massachusetts Certified Special Education and Elementary Teacher

Kimberly is a certified Early Childhood and Special Educator with over 25 years’ experience teaching students in preschool through middle school.

I have experience in teaching students in ways that they will learn best. I am willing to teach to them and what works best for them. I am friendly and helpful.

Whatever your native language, you can comprehend English or Spanish faster, speak fluently, and improve your grammatical skills with structured individualized lessons. Whether it is for business, travel, or student enrichment; beginners through advanced learners will meet with success with this experienced, knowledgeable bilingual tutor. Recently, I have been tutoring via Zoom. While it is not what I'm used to, it does work. Students who are adept at using zoom with a classroom teacher can now work on developing language skills. Welcome to the new learning world!...

I like to think that the English language was exhausted ages ago, even if I am only a tutor that rediscovers new aspects of this language, imparts, integrates, and contributes towards polishing the skills of various students.

Although I have very little experience in tutoring professionally, I have always been a great help to my friends and colleagues in my field of study. I have always believed on learning through experience and hand-on effort. I am willing to work with anyone who is willing to work under a 14 year old person with autism and work over zoom.
