About Me

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

All students are wired differently and come with different strengths and weaknesses. Everyone can learn, but they may need help finding the best way for them to learn! I believe that teachers need to strive to help their students find the best way to learn. I also believe that teachers need to connect with the student (that is, get to know their likes and dislikes) as well so that the student feels comfortable with that teacher. I have worked for years with students of varying levels and backgrounds. I see them as individuals and it’s important they know that I am interested in their well-being if I am going to make a difference.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education as well as a Master’s Degree in Reading Education. I have raised a son who has ADHD and written for a magazine about ADHD. Although I have two teaching degrees, some of my best learning has come from the years I’ve spent teaching. I also read a great deal about learning differences, and those things have also made me a better teacher!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have tutored students in reading who need extra support. I have taught in classrooms grades 1-4. Later in life, I taught reading to students needing reading support and study skill help in grades K-6.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

I like to read, write, travel, meet new people, and spend time with family. I love to read books about learning and have a large library of them. I have written articles for two magazines, one of which is ADDitude magazine. I like to be healthy and walk regularly.
