Bridges-To-Learning

I'm a retired Educational Diagnostician. I specialize in working with students who are challenged with ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, or performing below their grade level. We start at the beginning and relearn differently with fresh new approaches to understanding each new challenging idea and old ones too. I have a BA in Psychology from George Washington University and a MA in "The Psychology of Learning" from Catholic University of America. In addition, I have a certification in Davis Dyslexia Training. I've also completed and been certified as a Certified Professional Coach. My most important experience has been hands-on learning working with students in my private practice for well over 15 years .

I have worked with students for over 20 years evaluating (testing) and then tutoring. I feel very fortunate that I have been gifted with the ability to quickly connect with my students and intuitively know what that child needs to open their individual learning style. My colleagues call me “The Child Whisperer “. I’m passionate about what I do and enjoy watching a child who has been embarrassed and humiliated at school turn into a confident student who knows they can master anything!

My curiosity and motivation began when my middle child was struggling with ADHD. I lived firsthand with this experience so I understand the parent's perspective as well has their frustrations in helping their child.

A diversity of students ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade. All of my students are either lagging behind grade level or want to achieve above their grade level. I also work with adults who want to improve their English (ESL) language skills as well as their writing ability.

Observing my chemistry with my students and their profound progress

What is my child’s personality? How is this tutor different from my child’s teacher? Do I see a connection or intellectual chemistry between them?
