Experience

One of my greatest joys as a teacher is helping students reach an epiphany moment and see the light of understanding in their eyes. After years of teaching, I have arrived at the conclusion that each person has unique skills to be cultivated. This has come after working with students who have many significant challenges with learning. I have tutored students with autism, cognitive disabilities, speech and language disorders and other learning disabilities. These experiences have helped me to develop flexibility and sensitivity which is essential for meeting the needs of students. The method of instruction that has proven the most effective, in my experience, is coaching in play therapy techniques and open inquiry. Through this method, students learn the material as well as strategies for how to apply the material they study. I believe it is important that students not only learn, but gain satisfaction from the process. I am qualified and experienced to tutor all aspects of reading, including mechanics and comprehension. I am skilled in tutoring writing, study skills and cognitive processing. My style is to develop a supportive environment where students are encouraged to learn their own strengths and the learning style that suits them best.
