Professionally, I am a licensed general education and special education teacher. I have experience in teaching grades 3rd, 4th and 5th. I have also created academic special education programs for grades PK3 - 12th (both inclusion and resource room).

I am interested in tutoring because I believe that all students have the capability to learn, some just need a little extra review or perhaps for the information to be explained differently.

As a teacher I was awarded the teacher of the year award, and as an administrator I created special needs academic instruction where all students with an IEP scored basic and above in standardized testing.

Subjects:
Primary: all
Seconday: English, Reading Comprehension, Vocabulary, Writing
College: English Literature, Scholarly Writing, Editing

I believe that educators should provide content that is meaningful and lessons that are taught holistically rather then in isolation of themselves. Read less
