Experience
I'm a special education teacher at the middle school level, and I have developed a lot of strategies to help students of all kinds learn effectively. I believe every student is different, and those differences offer opportunities to connect with a student and figure out the way they learn best. I figure out what students are strong at, and I focus on areas of opportunity to help students solidify their understanding of subjects. I try many different approaches with students to see what they connect with best, and I encourage and provide support through success and failure. I like students to understand that making mistakes is part of learning, and it exposes areas we can quickly address and clear up. I can tutor a number of different subjects, but my specialties are writing, essays, literacy, algebra, and anthropology. I can also assist students in elementary and middle school math topics, ESL and English language learning, special education, and preparation for exams like the SSAT, GED, ISEE, SAT, Regents, and other admissions and assessment exams. I'm very patient with my students, and I have the experience to help any student achieve success. In my free time, I like to try out new recipes, enjoy science fiction and fantasy, and exercise outdoors.
