About Me

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Every student can be a successful learner! The key to success is to discover the particular learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) and instruct the student in the way they are receptive to receiving information. Everyone can learn- and succeed using this method.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
I received both my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Education and am a certified teacher in Pennsylvania. I also have certifications as a Reading Specialist and for English as a Second Language (ESL).
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have teaching experience from Kindergarten through College, including working with students who have ADD, Asperger’s Dyslexia, and other challenges. I have also worked as a tutor and assisted at risk students teaching vital study skills techniques that helped them to become successful students.
My favorite teaching experience was working with a student, Nadia. She was born with cerebral palsy and doctors told her she would never walk. Not only did she prove them wrong, she would go on to become a college graduate. Despite her physical challenges, Nadia would meet with me for tutoring and
never once complained. She would always tell me- “I can do this.”
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
I have taught religious studies at my parish for several years. I love to travel and to learn about other cultures. I am a self-taught “gourmet” cook and my daughter and I love The Cooking Network.
