Experience
I spent 25 years in education, and during that time I've worked at the secondary level, at the elementary level, in special education, and with adults. I attended Millersville University for my bachelor's degree in education, emphasizing elementary and special education. I also earned my masters degree in special education. In addition, I became certified as a supervisor for curriculum and instruction of special education, and also became certified in developmental therapy, applied behavior analysis, and neurolinguistic specialization. The certifications have helped me understand better ways to teach to learners of all ages and levels of ability. My specialty is a tutor is to help elementary school level students with learning challenges, but I can tutor students in a variety of subjects as well. When I work with students, my goal is to help them develop independent learning skills. To accomplish this, I need to identify the student's learning style and then figure out how to help them learn better using that style. In free time, I like to read, hike, listen to music, and watch sports. Subjects I can tutor include math, reading, writing, phonics, earth sciences, physical sciences, chemistry, and study skills.
