Personal Description:

I am a learning disabilities tutor who enjoys helping students to not only develop confidence in their work, but also in themselves. I feel that when lessons are made to be relevant and practical to everyday life it gives students the ability to more fully relate to their learning material.

Tutoring Experience:

After earning my bachelor's degree in sociology, I went on to attain two master's degrees in education. Currently, I am in my second year of teaching at a public charter school. In the past, my tutoring has been focused on assisting students in elementary and middle school through the use of phonics and reading intervention.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to being an effective learning disabilities tutor is to help students by teaching them to expand their points of view and to assist them in developing their critical thinking skills. I will set attainable goals, then do my best to provide them with the tools necessary to reach for them.
