I am currently working in a high school tutoring role. I love learning and helping others as well. I have a BSBA from JCU and a M.Ed from CSU. I have worked in education for over 15 years. I find it important to really connect with my students because a good relationship is important to successful learning.

I don't stand out but I stand in with the students. Feeling of worth helping others.

I am a hard working teacher and tutor. I have a lot of experience teaching children with special needs. For basic reading skills I prefer a heavy phonics based system. The Curriculum I use is Recipe for reading. I enjoy. In math I like to bring every student into the realm of concrete reality. EG, I rely heavily on manipulative and illustrations to teach specific skills. How I teach writing differs depending on where the student is currently at. At the lower ranges, I focus more on spelling using phonics based strategies. My more advanced students learn more about grammar, structure, and writing compelling arguments.
